Improved water, energy, and food security on a global level can be achieved through a nexus approach [17] —an approach that integrates management and governance across sectors and scales. [18] A nexus approach can support the transition to a green economy , which aims, among other things, at resource use efficiency and greater policy coherence .

Hybrid Sankey diagram of 2011 U.S. interconnected water and energy flows. The water-energy nexus is the relationship between the water used for energy production, [1] including both electricity and sources of fuel such as oil and natural gas, and the energy consumed to extract, purify, deliver, heat/cool, treat and dispose of water (and wastewater) sometimes referred to as the energy intensity ...

The Nexus approach is based on the recognition that "water, energy and food are closely linked through global and local water, carbon and energy cycles or chains." An IWRM approach aims at avoiding a fragmented approach of water resources management by considering the following aspects: Enabling environment, roles of Institutions, management ...

The Nexus Tools Platform or NTP is a web-based inventory platform that allows an interactive comparison of environmental models in a statistical way. Developed by the UNU Institute for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources (UNU-FLORES), [1] the platform helps a user to analyze existing modelling tools related to environmental resource management and associated nexus ...
In energy demand management, for example, the offer of cheaper off-peak energy tariffs is a common method for shifting energy demand away from peak periods and towards periods when there is surplus energy available. Water demand management depends on better understanding of exactly how much water different users are using for different purposes ...
