“…The criterion "method type and assessment tools" is one of the most discussed by authors in the literature [22,25,27,38,43,47] and has extreme relevance for assisting in the development of nexus procedure steps. Analysis of the papers revealed that any tool that can evaluate two or more systems (water, energy, food, land, and other elements) in an integrated manner could be employed as a nexus assessment tool as long as it used its approach.…”

“…Analysis of the papers revealed that any tool that can evaluate two or more systems (water, energy, food, land, and other elements) in an integrated manner could be employed as a nexus assessment tool as long as it used its approach. In this case, it is possible to align four study types involving this criterion: (a) studies that have tested tools from different areas adapting their use to address the nexus approach [78,114,135,136], (b) authors who have used combinations between different qualitative and quantitative tools and methods [26,84], (c) specifically reviewed studies for discussion of evaluation methods and models [22,25,27,38,43,47], and (d) research that has focused on developing new tools and methods [44,46,137].…”

“…Given the specifics of each location and the challenges highlighted, previous research has addressed these relationships through case studies and literature reviews. Case studies involve sociopolitical realities at different scales (country, state, city, and organizations) [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] and the development of new methodologies and models [19,[44][45][46]. There are also case studies that quantify the interrelationships between nexus elements.…”

“…However, literature reviews focus on the concepts and methodologies applied to the nexus concept [27]. There are reviews of methods incorporating sustainable systems indicators (SSIs) used to assess water use in industries [43] and modeling approaches used for dynamic decision-making, the latter focusing on mathematical optimization, agent-based modeling, and game concepts [38]. Additional studies have addressed nexus thinking in the urban context [21] and different methods for comparing the level of tool complexity used in the nexus approach [37].…”

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.

RESUMOExiste um interesse crescente na literatura envolvendo o tema "water -energyfood nexus". Esse interesse ocorre especialmente devido ao crescente reconhecimento das interdependências e interconexões entre setores econômicos que compartilham recursos naturais. Apesar da grande popularidade desse tema, ainda não foi identificado estudos que contemplem uma avaliação sistêmica das inter-relações entre seus elementos presentes no Brasil. Considerando essas premissas, este artigo tem por objetivo elaborar um diagnóstico das inter-relações entre o consumo de água e energia nas atividades agrícola, industrial, energética e de saneamento, visando estruturar o panorama das interligações existentes entre esses elementos no Brasil e direcionar futuras pesquisas que contemplem essa abordagem. Para isso, as análises foram realizadas a partir da disponibilidade de bases de dados setoriais. Os resultados alcançados apontam que: nas relações

Herein, the poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composite membranes blended with pineapple leaf nanocrystalline cellulose (PLNC) and g-C 3 N 4 for ultrafiltration were designed and fabricated via surface segregation during non-solvent induced phase separation. The incorporation of PLNC and g-C 3 N 4 endows the PVDF composite membrane with a higher porosity, enhancing the pure water flux of PVDF/g-C 3 N 4 /PLNC membrane by 256.75% compared to the PVDF membrane, while maintaining a higher water flux recoveries of 82.1%. Moreover, surface chemical compositions, surface and cross-section morphologies, degree of crystallinity were also characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The mechanical properties of the PVDF composite membranes were also investigated. All the above experimental data showed that the addition of PLNC and g-C 3 N 4 can greatly improve the performance of the PVDF membrane. The prepared modified membrane has potential application value in the field of wastewater separation and treatment. membranes, morphology, porous materialsRecently, the world is facing environmental problems of water shortage and severe water pollution. 1,2 In this case, membrane separation (microfiltration, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis membranes), as a
