Exploring the challenges and opportunities in the Water, Energy, Food nexus for Arid Region

Water, Energy, and Food sectors are interlinked in a nexus wherein actions relevant to one sector can often influence other sectors to a high degree. Globally, there has been a growing focus on ensuring water, energy, and food security in different kinds of frameworks and models. The current researc...
