Examining the food–energy–water and conflict nexus
Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering, 2017There is growing evidence of a strong linkage or ‘nexus’ between conflict — both domestic and international — and food, energy, and water (FEW) resources and services. This article demonstrates a positive, significant correlation between two measures, FEW security and political stability, and reviews the evidence for how each of these three types of ...

Proposal for a Database of Food-Energy-Water-Nexus Projects
2021This chapter outlines a proposed Food-Energy-Water (FEW)-database, explicitly designed for architects and urban designers. The database is global, with the intent being to describe both commonalities and gaps across the varied physical, social and economic environments, and more importantly to examine the possibility of scaling methods and socio ...

Exploring the Design Space of Sankey Diagrams for the Food-Energy-Water Nexus
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 2021In this work, we define a set of design requirements relating to Sankey diagrams for supporting food-energy-water nexus understanding and propose the network embodied sectoral trajectory diagram design, a visualization design that incorporates a number of characteristics from Sankey diagrams, treemaps, and graphs, to improve the readability and ...

Reservoir Design and Operation for the Food-Energy-Water Nexus
Current Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports, 2019As populations grow concurrently with changing climates, expanding economies and urbanization, competition for food, energy, and water resources increases. The intersection of these areas, sometimes referred to as the food-energy-water nexus, poses significant challenges.

Urban food-energy-water nexus indicators: A review
Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 2019Abstract The unprecedented surge in urbanization and population growth rates is generating multiple impacts, affecting food, energy and water (FEW hereafter) demands. Moreover, the adverse effects are extending to climate, as well as to human and ecosystem health.

A metropolitan scale water management analysis of the food-energy-water nexus
Science of The Total Environment, 2020Quantifying the interactions of the food-energy-water (FEW) nexus is crucial to support new policies for the conjunctive management of the three resources. Currently, our understanding of FEW systems in metropolitan regions is limited. Here, we quantify and model FEW interactions in the metropolitan area of Phoenix, Arizona, using the Water Evaluation ...

Integrated Economic and Spatial Planning for the Food-Energy-Water Nexus
2016Infrastructure projects are being planned and implemented around the world. These projects lead to economic growth and social development, but often unexpected side effects emerge. The problem is that financial analyses for infrastructure projects do not incorporate quantified economic assessments of social and environmental impacts.

A workshop on transitioning cities at the food-energy-water nexus
Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences, 2016Metropolitan development in the USA has historically relied on systems of centralized infrastructure that assume a population density and level of economic activity that has not been consistently sustained in post-industrial urban landscapes. In many cities, this has resulted in dependence on systems that are environmentally, economically, and socially

Soil as a Basic Nexus Tool: Soils at the Center of the Food–Energy–Water Nexus
Current Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports, 2017Soil is the medium for plant growth and the substrate for all biogeochemical and biogeophysical processes. Soil’s unique natural organization forms the foundation of any food–water–energy nexus system. It forms a habitat for billions of diverse micro, meso, and macrofauna and flora and is the basis of numerous ecosystem services essential to human well-

Deliberations about a perfect storm – The meaning of justice for food energy water-nexus (FEW-Nexus)
Journal of Environmental Management, 2018The current global developments have the potential to cause a 'perfect storm' at the core of the Anthropocene: the Food-Energy-Water-Nexus. To discuss the ethical consequences of these developments, i.e., insufficient access to the life sustaining nexus resources, the analysis is focused on Rawls' theory of justice and its implementation in Germany ...
