About This Topic
The Water-Energy Nexus represents the critical interdependence between water resources and energy production, where water is required for energy generation (e.g., hydropower, cooling in thermal power plants, and biofuel production) and energy is essential for water extraction, treatment, and distribution. Effective management of this nexus is essential for ensuring sustainability, resilience, and efficiency in resource utilization, particularly in the context of climate change, population growth, and increasing resource demands.
This special issue aims to explore innovative approaches to managing the Water-Energy Nexus, integrating geospatial technologies, artificial intelligence, multi-criteria decision-making, and sustainability assessment tools. The focus includes renewable energy solutions for water management, policy and governance strategies, smart water systems, climate resilience, and the role of digital technologies in optimizing the nexus.
We invite contributions from researchers and practitioners addressing technical, environmental, economic, and policy aspects to foster a holistic understanding of the Water-Energy Nexus. The special issue aims to highlight new methodologies, case studies, and solutions that contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy).
