Abstract:

This bachelor's thesis offers an overview of the problems associated with water shortages that are common in ten chosen arid and semi-arid countries of Latin America, Africa, and Asia, with an emphasis on sustainable energy solutions. The study examines the complex interaction between energy requirements and water demands in various less developed countries, highlighting the importance of solar and wind energy. Using a thorough approach based on an extensive review of the literature, the study compiles information from a variety of academic sources, including encyclopedias, scholarly journals, and reputable reports that can be accessed via online databases like Web of Science, Google Scholar, yearbooks, World Bank publications, UN Organization's databases, the UN Digital Library, and JSTOR. This thesis intends to provide important insights into potential pathways for reducing water scarcity through the implementation of sustainable energy initiatives by shedding light on the important relationship between energy and water dynamics in arid and semi-arid regions through this logical examination.
