(10a) Effective water management can contribute significantly to energy saving. The water sector uses nearly 3.5% of electricity in the Union1a. Treatment and transport of water using pumping and pressure systems powered by electric motors consume much energy. Water demand is expected to increase by 25% by 2040, primarily in towns. At the same time, water leaks account for 24% of the total quantity of water consumed in Europe, wasting energy as well as water. Consequently, any measures geared to managing water more efficiently and reducing its use would help to attain the Union’s energy efficiency target. _______________ 1aWorld Energy Outlook 2016, International Energy Agency, 2016

(10b) Industry consumes more water than any other sector in Europe, its share being 44%1a. The use of smart technologies and procedures to manage water could lead to substantial water savings while increasing the competitiveness of businesses. The same is true for towns, where water accounts for between 30 and 50% of the electricity bills of municipalities. ________________ 1aCommission staff working document, Agriculture and sustainable water management in the EU, 28 April 2017

(13a) The water sector can also contribute to renewable energy production and help to reduce energy supplies from fossil fuels. The treatment of effluent by processing sludge from biomethane treatment makes it possible to produce energy on site. Effluent treatment plants could be systematically equipped in order to supply them with all or part of the energy that they need.
