2. SUMMARY OF GROUP DISCUSSIONS An important objective of this Mekong-Ganga Dialogue workshop was to provide opportunities for peer-to-peer learning to improve the understanding of the sectoral challenges and to synthesize the lessons disseminated into the broader picture. Facilitated group discussions identified key concerns facing current and future development of water, food and energy and searched for creative and feasible suggestions for steps forward. 2.1 ENERGY CONNECTIONS Energy connections focused on the physical inter-dependence of water and energy. Both energy and water are essential to every aspect of life: social equity ecosystem integrity and economic sustainability. While water is an absolute necessity for energy generation, whether it is nuclear, hydro, coal or oil, energy is essential for water too. Energy is used to extract, transfer and to treat drinking water. It is used in the collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater and for heating and cooling purposes by households and industries. In this context, key points to note from the session, include: 20 Rouse Avenue, New Delhi – 110002 Ph 91.11.4350020 Fax 91.11.43520003 Email: sonali.mittra@orfonline.org www.orfonline.org 8
