Abstract

The paper uses an integrated technology-policy framework to assess the efficacy of renewable energy and water systems in Mexico. Case studies of technologies illustrate how energy-water policy objectives and choices are affected. Of particular importance for consideration are performance parameters, cultural acceptance, willingness to pay, and financing. The study considers an analytical framework for assessing options for managing and providing water services, and concludes there are several technology and policy options that would be beneficial: solar hot water heaters, renewable electricity systems tied to distributed water treatment and desalination systems, and information and communication technologies (ICT).
