Water-Energy Nexus study of the urban water cycle in Cuenca, Ecuador

Climate change is a high priority problem for all mankind. With extreme weather patterns and severe natural disasters affecting human settlements on an unprecedented scale, both in frequency and magnitude, every country is attempting to combat climate change by adaptation and mitigation actions. With growing awareness about the realities of global warming and climate change, the importance of resources like water and clean energy is coming to light. Water-energy nexus studies are fairly recent that explore the water-energy interlinkages and these interlinkages are inextricably linked with climate change.
