Water and energy systems will be even more strongly linked in the future and therefore it is important now to properly understand how to assess and implement the water-energy security nexus. The nexus between water and energy is a highly important element, as energy production is very water intensive, but at the same time various elements in the water sector exert a heavy energy footprint. As a result, metrics and models to optimise systems and security, as well as reliability, are required. This book will address the principles, assessment and implementation of the water energy nexus, and how it is best used to reduce the carbon footprint in lieu of climate change.Key Features:Includes relevant frameworks and management practices, as well as protocols and guidelines that currently exist.Addresses climate change adaptation and resilience as related to this topic.Shows where and how sustainable development concepts can be incorporated, taking into consideration the water-energy nexus.Conveys the principles, assessment and implementation of the water-energy nexus.A multidisciplinary book with an engineering point of view.
