Energy consumption has gradually become an important factor affecting the sustainable use of regional water resources, especially in areas with abundant energy but scarce water. In this research, the water consumption for energy production in arid Northwest China (NWC) in 2017 and 2030 was evaluated, and the virtual water (VW) transfer embodied in the energy trade was also calculated based on a large amount of data collected from multiple sources. The results showed that the energy-related water consumption in NWC in 2017 was 2.6 bil
