Nexus Simulation

Experience the Water-Energy-Food-Goods Nexus and how to manage competing needs for water resources in a water catchment.

What is the Nexus Simulation?

The Nexus Simulation offers a unique opportunity to explore the interconnected Water-Energy-Food-Goods Nexus and the challenges of water management for energy and food production in a water catchment.

How it works

Participants take on the roles of key stakeholders (local government, energy, agriculture & aquaculture, industry, environment and civil society) of a catchment to discuss and enact how to distribute water efficiently and equitably for different social, environmental and economic purposes.

From this perspective, participants brainstorm and negotiate to creatively form and verify a number of policies, innovations, or collaborations. As they try to meet growing water demands, they have to consider ecological and economical balance within and across borders and sectors.

Participants strive to address water needs of population, industry, and environment, while at the same time facing challenges of climate change and changing basin conditions.

How to participate

The simulation is targeted at water, energy, industrial and agriculture sector professionals, local government, water supply and wastewater utilities, research institutions, and civil society organisations to foster cross-sectoral dialogue and collaboration. It is designed to be used within capacity development programs, both as a training tool and an awareness raising exercise.
