“Water and energy are two of the most important pillars that
support modern civilisation. Despite many similarities, the two have
traditionally been generated and delivered in very different ways
by different organisations and subject to different legislation and
regulation but to the same customers. The very success of conventional,
centralised distribution systems in large urban areas has also been
their limitation for communities not living in industrialised countries.
Cost and scale. This book explores and supports the provision of clean
water to communities which are off-grid based on the tremendous
advances made in recent years around renewable energy generation,
especially solar PV and wind. It explains in the clearest possible terms
the potential, progress, economics and technology that can make this
a reality. It is a book for specialists and a book for generalists written
in a clear and engaging style by an author of immense experience,
knowledge and wisdom. It can’t be said for many books, but this really
is one that can change the world!”

“Gustaf is certainly a leader in the area of the water-energy nexus, having
previously published one of the most useful books on this topic – Water
and Energy: Threats and Opportunities. In his new book, Gustaf makes
a clear case for the value of off-grid water and sanitation systems and
the enormous potential for renewables to play a part in these systems.
Gustaf has a special skill when it comes to explaining concepts in
an understandable way and clearly shows how solar and wind can be
integrated at each stage of the water supply and sanitation process.”

“Following in-depth discussions on the water and energy nexus in
his previous works (Water and Energy, Olsson 2012, 2015, IWA
Publishing), Gustaf shows, in this new book, how renewable energy in
combination with decentralized water operations can decouple many
of these dependencies and meet challenges caused by climate change,
population increase, water scarcity and poor water quality. Gustaf has
