Abstract
Energy and water are basic supporting resources for economic development. In many regions, energy and water security has been great challenge for economic sustainable development, especially in developing countries like China. Water security and energy security are intimately linked due to their direct and indirect connections in economic activities. The indirect connections mean the interactions among elements due to the economic trade, which can be illustrated well through the embodied water and energy footprint through economic trade. The indirect connections play vital role in multi resource management. Comparing traditional nexus studies focusing on the system scales, this paper built the spatial nexus network to unpack energy and water spatial linkage and teleconnection based on the direct and indirect connections. Both physical resource trade and virtual resource trade are calculated to investigate the energy and water spatial relationship based on the control and dependence analyses. By exploring how energy-water nexus networks are formed and interacted each other, we aim to provide insights for energy-water spatial trade coordinated management.
