From system concept to serious game: the SIM4NEXUS approach to policy-relevant nexus research
(Corresponding) Susnik J., Masia S., Khoury M., Vamvakeridou-Lyroudia L., Brouwer F., Riegels N., Domingo X., Lluis E., Evans B., Savic D.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
There is growing interest in using serious games for a wide range of applications, from water resources management, to surgery simulations, to pilot training. At the same time, there is rapidly growing interest in the water-energy-food/land-climate nexus, where interactions in one sector can lead...Read more
A system dynamics model to explore the water-land-energy-food-climate nexus in Latvia
Masia S., (Corresponding) Susnik J., Indriksone D., Bremere I., Vamvakeridou-Lyroudia L., Brouwer F.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Water, energy, food/land use and climate are connected a system defined by complexity, feedback and delay, and are commonly referred to as the nexus which operates across scales. Therefore the characteristics of the nexus change depending on the scale being considered, the location, and the sectors...Read more

WATER SUSTAINABILITY: EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY METHODS IN GREEK AND EUROPEAN ISLANDS
TSESMENTZIS G., (Corresponding) KONDILI E., KALDELLIS J.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Water is a very valuable natural resource absolutely necessary for life. Lately water resources are facing very high pressure from continuously increasing demand. Besides, various areas face water shortage due to decrease of precipitation, irrational use, losses and other reasons.
Furthermore...Read more

Changing Cropping Patterns and Irrigation Practices: Implications for Promoting Sustainable Growth of Agriculture in West Bengal, India
(Corresponding) Pani A., Mishra P.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
The relationships between availability of irrigation facilities and changes in cropping patterns, especially in an agrarian economy like India, require deeper investigation for rational use of water and promoting sustainable growth of agriculture sector. The existing studies generally focus on how...Read more

The mitigation of environmental impacts of high polluted effluents from tuna canning industry through eco-efficiency strategies
(Corresponding) Gutierrez M., Etxebarria S., Revilla M., Ramos S., Ciriza A., Sancho L., Zufia J.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Food industry use high volume of water and energy to carry out their processes. Specifically, the fish canning industry generates effluents with high organic and saline loads, which complicates their suitable treatment before discharging to water bodies. The LIFE VERTALIM project has demonstrated...Read more

The aim of this paper is to analyse time series that might have an impact on prices of energy commodities. Analysis and econometric modelling reveal which time series are corelated and how. This is input for further modelling of forecasting tool for electricity and gas prices (in near future)...Read more
Evapotransiration of crops and mechanical soil composition in Rhodes island
(Corresponding) Symeonidou S., Vagiona D.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the green (from rainfall) and blue (from irrigation) evapotranspiration of the most widespread crops (olives, citrus, soft and hard wheat, watermelons/melons, barley, grapes, vegetables, winter/summer and spring potatoes, fodder crops, rest annual crops) in the...Read more
Enabling the Total Resource Utilization (TRU) Habitat
Tsantrizos P., (Corresponding) Curry N.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Terragon Environmental Technologies Inc. has developed a suite of user-friendly technologies to treat solid and liquid byproducts of human consumption now considered “waste” and convert them into “resources” that can be re-used in the same place in which they are generated (in situ). These...Read more

A system dynamics model to quantify the impacts of restoration measures on the water-energy-food nexus in the Urmia lake Basin, Iran
Bakhshianlamouki E., Masia S., Karimi P., van der Zaag P., (Corresponding) Susnik J.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
Water scarcity exacerbated by growing demand has created environmental, social, and economic challenges in the Urmia Lake Basin (ULB), Iran. Tackling these requires an integrated approach. A System Dynamics Model is developed simulating the water-energy-food nexus in the ULB as a holistic multi-...Read more

Perspectives, challenges and directions for future research into the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus
(Corresponding) Susnik J., Staddon C.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
In 2018, Albrecht et al. published a review of water-energy-food (WEF) nexus literature, coming to five main criticisms in nexus research. The five central conclusions of that review together with a consideration of on-going projects and recent nexus research insights form the basis for this...Read more
