“…In agriculture, issues such as (a) irrigated agriculture [44,110], (b) wastewater treatment and reuse in urban agriculture [111], (c) food waste [112], (d) agricultural water management [71,113], and (e) the role of phosphorus (P) in nexus relations [103] were covered. In the energy sector, issues such as (a) bioenergy [86,114,115], (b) water consumption during energy production [116], and (c) impact on aquatic species through the release of thermoelectric effluents [68] were considered.…”

A Literature Review to Propose a Systematic Procedure to Develop “Nexus Thinking” Considering the Water–Energy–Food Nexus

There is a growing interest in the literature on the theme of the water–energy–food nexus, as there is growing recognition that sectors that share natural resources have interdependent and interconnected systems. Despite the widespread popularity of nexus thinking, it still lacks standardized procedures and methodologies to assist in its development. Therefore, this paper proposes, from a literature review, a systematic procedure to assist in the development of management models based on nexus thinking. To this end, 304 papers were analyzed using the following criteria: nexus concept, type of approach, geographic scale, elements in the nexus system, application context, and types of assessment methods and tools. The results of the review served as the basis for determining the procedure, which consisted of four steps: (a) understanding nexus thinking, (b) identification of composing variables, (c) evaluation (diagnosis and prognosis), and (d) decision-making. In addition to the standardization of these steps, the main information used to compose the procedure was organized and synthesized with a mind map.

“…Others again explicitly include a fourth sector-namely climate-to the nexus [11,45,49,50]. Depending on specific perspectives, several publications address merely bilateral relationships among any two of the nexus sectors-most notably, the water-energy relationship, e.g., [1,11,[51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64]. In this paper, the WEL Nexus perspective was chosen, since it reflects a holistic approach, including all three sectors and a focus on natural resources instead of exclusively human needs (i.e., food), while subsuming overarching climate aspects under the three sectors, respectively (e.g., emissions originating from agricultural practices or power generation).…”

Linking Environmental Policy Integration and the Water-Energy-Land-(Food-)Nexus: A Review of the European Union’s Energy, Water, and Agricultural Policies

et al. 2019

Against the backdrop of climate and environmental pressures, as well as limited resource availability and trade conflicts, devising policies for energy and the use of natural resources in general becomes exceedingly complex. Moreover, policies are required to account for interrelations between individual resources and between different sectors and policy fields, but implementation often lacks. To evaluate the current state of integrated policy design in the EU, a review of European energy, water, and agricultural policies was conducted. Using a qualitative comparative research approach, the objective was to identify and explain the differing degrees and variations in policy integration among them. To this aim, the concepts “Environmental Policy Integration” and “Water-Energy-Land Nexus” were jointly applied as analytical frameworks. The analysis revealed that currently, different authorities are endowed with largely sectoral mandates. Accordingly, the respective sectoral policy sets are historically grown based on differing sets of formal and informal rules and processes, thus making policy integration among the sectors, let alone within the nexus, a highly challenging task.

“…Alternatively, recent studies focus on the trade-offs between environmental constraints and energy production: Gjorgiev et al [16] finds that relaxing the environmental constraints in extreme events prevents significant capacity curtailments using a basin scale model for a synthetic case study. Logan et al [17] presents a methodology combining a hydrodynamic-temperature model and a risk assessment for fish species to refine the environmental constraints for individual power plants.…”
