Water is earth blood and life essential. Clean freshwater is among the global forthcoming uncertainty, beside food and energy. The food-energy-water nexus has generated immense concerns in all over the world and included in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The nexus itself is not only defined as the qualitative interactions between the food, energy or water subsystems, but also the quantification links among them as nexus nodes. While looking into the quantitative interaction between the subsystems, water-food linkage nodes contribute to 16% of the demands, water-energy linkage nodes approximately 32%, water-energy-food triangular nodes of 30%, and the rest of 22% directly relates to the climate.
Pairwise interactions of the food and the energy systems include the foods used to produce the energy and the energy used in food production. Interrelations between the water and the energy systems consisted of the water used in energy production and the energy used in the water supply. Finally, interconnections between the food and the water systems were the water used in the food production, agriculture impacts water quality and virtual water trade. In order to overcome the challenge, rapid transformations to more resilient food, energy and water security are mandatory, to maintain a circular world economy and sustainability.
Water sustainability is the key and has sharpened MILI’s vision. MILI is the water-wise research institution bring the scientific knowledge into practice by handling analysis, inspection, certification, education and verification of water quality; and by providing integrated sustainable solution in water treatment and water management system.
