Water and Energy Monitoring and Their Nexus
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Drought, population growth, energy and land use, socioeconomic changes, and a shifting climate exacerbate the pressure on water and energy infrastructures. Therefore, it is critical to re-think how water and electricity are managed, including their interactions, e.g., water used to generate energy, and energy used in water treatment.
By focusing on the nexus between water and energy, we aim to identify sustainable strategies and technologies that can alleviate the mounting pressures on these vital resources. However, we also recognize the importance of examining water and energy individually to gain a comprehensive understanding of their unique complexities.
In this sense, this topic aims to provide a platform for researchers and participants from academic and industrial sectors to report their recent research findings that contribute to the comprehensive understanding and effective planning and management of water and energy systems. To this end, five journals were meticulously selected: Water, Energies, Sensors, Sustainability, and Data.
We are pleased to invite the research community to submit review or regular research papers focusing on, but not limited to, the following relevant topics related to water and energy monitoring and their nexus:
- Water and energy monitoring technologies;
- Electricity and water disaggregation;
- Water–energy and energy–water nexus modelling;
- Water–energy–food nexus modelling;
- Public datasets;
- Standards for data sharing and re-use;
- Decision-making tools;
- User experience and visualization of the water–energy and energy–water nexus;
- Human factors in water–energy and energy–water nexus;
- Water–energy and energy–water nexus integration in buildings and industries;
- Optimization considering the water–energy and energy–water nexus;
- Integration of RES and DER in energy and water infrastructures and their nexus;
- Forecasting of power production and demand in water–energy and energy–water nexus;
- Forecasting water demand in water–energy and energy–water nexus.
