Hydrogen is emerging as a critical component in the global energy transition, providing low-carbon alternative for sectors such industry and transportation. This paper aims to comprehensively address water usage hydrogen production by exploring demands of different methods their implications management, particularly Texas. Key variables influencing consumption are identified, potential under market scenarios estimated. Using spatial analysis, regions where may stress local resources alongside policy recommendations sustainable use.
