Water-food-energy nexus for transboundary cooperation in Eastern Africa

Abstract: Establishing cooperation in transboundary rivers is challenging especially with the weak or non-existent river basin institutions. A nexus-based approach is developed to explore cooperation opportunities in transboundary river basins while considering system operation and coordination under uncertain hydrologic river regimes. The proposed approach is applied to the Nile river basin with a special focus on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), assuming two possible governance positions: with or without co… Show more

“…It has been applied to understand and analyze the complexity of interactions among the water, energy, and food sectors, and of policy interventions therein (Bakhshianlamouki et al, 2020;Sušnik et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2023;Wen et al, 2022;). It has used to deal with water management in transboundary basins (Elsayed et al, 2022). Following the development of CMs and CLDs, an SDM was built using stock-flow diagrams (SFDs) to represent the Ain Temouchent WEF nexus, using the CLD as a guide and maintaining a focus on water-energy interaction, mainly the energy consumption for desalination and on water food nexus, focusing on the intensive agriculture production leading to the overexploitation of the groundwater.…”

“…The central role of water in modulating energy and food provision can be illustrated through case studies. Elsayed et al (2022) develop a system dynamics model (cf. Sterman, 2000;Ford, 2009) to assess how hypothetical governance approaches of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) in Ethiopia could lead to water, energy, and food implications in Nile-basin countries.…”

“…Applying a WEF nexus in transboundary water resources can help to solve water crises and to enhance mutual collaboration among different countries [15]. Moreover, it provides cooperation opportunities in shared water resources [17] and provides flexible solutions for water crises [15].…”
