Some results from the study
"The Water Demand of Energy: Implications for Sustainable Energy Policy Development"
by Saeed Hadian and Kaveh Madani (2013)

Important results:

"Global energy consumption is estimated to rise from 77 million BTU (81.2 GJ) per capita in 2012 to 91 million BTU (96 GJ) per capita in 2035, resulting in 40% increase in global energy use in the next two decades "

"In the U.S., the energy sector is expected to be the fastest growing water consuming sector, being responsible for 85% of the increase in domestic water consumption in the 2005-2030 period "
