“…Already there has been a trend toward more professionally diverse design teams that include city planners, ecologists, social scientists, economists, and public health officials, to name just a few. Water resources research, too, has become more interdisciplinary (Grigg 2021;Sowby and Grigg 2022). However, the success of such teams "requires more than placing experts from different disciplines into a room and adding interdisciplinary verbiage to a proposal : : : Interdisciplinary collaborations require meaningful interactions and genuine integration across disciplines" (National Academies 2019).…”

“…Academic professionals must be more active in generating new knowledge on IWRM for policy leaders and public authorities. This would enable the implementation of more effective solutions for water-related challenges (Grigg, 2021). SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat) analysis, known as SOFT analysis (Satisfactory, Opportunities, Faults, and Threats), is a valuable strategic planning and management tool.…”

Water Resources Management in Progo River Basin using SWOT Analysis

About 3.1 million people use the water from Progo River for domestic use, agriculture, livestock and even for religious rituals which solidifies the importance of Progo River to the residence. However, the characteristics of the Progo River has not been studied well. This paper aims to understand the characteristics of the Progo River and the main threat to the river. To achieve those objectives, a SWOT analysis was used particularly in three segments of Progo River Basin, which is upstream, midstream, and downstream reach. The upstream segment has a basin slope more than 25%, the middle segment has a basin slope of 8-25%, and the downsteam segment has a basin slope less than 8%. The SWOT analysis would be based on desk study, hydrological analysis, water quality analysis and field observation. The upstream segment is characterized by high land erosion rate, steep slope, and the presence of Umbul Jumprit, a holy site for Buddhism. The midstream segment is very close to the residence area which reduces the water quality of the river. Furthermore, some scouring issues and flooding risk have become the main concern in this area. The downstream segment is crossed by several bridges of national roads while also having a gravel mining activity. This activity causes a massive scouring problem to the structures. It is clear that the main threat to the Progo River Basin is volcanic and human activities. For a starter, the government should prioritize the revitalization act in the upstream area which has a great impact on the midstream and downstream areas. Because SWOT analysis from water resources management perspective have never been done in the Progo River Basin, these findings can be served as a foundation for the integrated water resources management in the basin.

“…Previous studies on efficiency measurements did not include this suppression [29]. By way of example, Li et al [30] According to the WEF nexus, bioethanol energy performance in Pakistan is not much desired [26]. There were biophysical bounds and possibilities set on the water-food system by examining assumptions about water use and crop yields in three different rapid population situations in Pakistan, as described by [27].…”

Water, Energy, and Food Nexus in Pakistan: Parametric and Non-Parametric Analysis

et al. 2022

Analyzing the efficiency of the water, energy, and food (WEF) nexus is critical for effective governance strategies. Therefore, three-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) was used to measure the efficiency level of WEF in the 36 districts of Punjab, Pakistan, for the period from 2015 to 2021. Furthermore, the stochastic frontier was used to analyze the effect of external environmental factors on these efficiency scores of the WEF nexus. The results of the DEA showed that the number of frontier efficiency districts decreased, and most districts experienced rank change over time. Overall, the performance of 50% of the districts declined over time. The relative decline in efficiency was found to be higher in districts Bahwalnaghar and Rahim Yar Khan. The performance of districts Multan and Sheikhupura increased over time, while districts Vehari and Sargodha were the most complete and efficient in actual performance. According to the SFA’s findings, the WEF nexus efficiency of South Punjab districts was negatively impacted by external environmental factors (urbanization rate, manufactured industry output, population), leading to severe stress across WEF sectors. Districts in central and southern Punjab, however, were more likely to have lower rankings because of the positive impact of external environmental factors on the efficiency of the WEF nexus. The substantial rise of external environmental variables focused on scale expansion rather than quality improvement, which created a wide gap in WEF inputs and, hence, reduced the efficiency of the WEF nexus in the districts. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for developing governance strategies based on external environmental factors and WEF resource endowment, and they complement the efficiency calculation of WEF nexus research. Future research should focus on the Baluchistan region, the most deprived area in terms of water, energy, and food.
