Cities are complex and evolving systems with various factors playing key roles, e.g., population increase, the migration of population, availability resources, flexibility policies. Consumers’ socioeconomic status is also an important aspect that needs to be studied in context a self-reliant urban city its resource consumption. In this regard, association between water–food socio-economic attri...

Abstract Water plays an important role in power generation, fuel manufacturing, and processing. This has been valid for several decades, but lately, primarily due to climate change, the limitations insecurity related water energy connections have become more prominent. The article is a quantitative review study conducted evaluate water–energy nexus Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. Inform...

Recent energy security strategies, investment opportunities and energy policies have led to an escalation in biofuel consumption at the expenses of food crops and pastureland. To evaluate the important impacts of biofuels on food security, the food-energy nexus needs to be investigated in the context of its linkages with the overall human appropriation of land and water resources. Here we provi...

nvironmental degradation can inflict serious damage on poor people, because their livelihoods often depend on natural resource use, and their living conditions may offer little protection from pollution of the air, water and soil. At the same time, poverty-constrained options may induce the poor to deplete resources and degrade the environment at rates that are incompatible with long-term susta...

This article discusses the link between water conservation, reclamation, reuse and energy use as related to the goal of achieving the net zero carbon emission footprint in future sustainable cities. It defines sustainable ecocities and outlines quantitatively steps towards the reduction of energy use due to water and used water flows, management and limits in linear and closed loop water/stormw...
