Abstract
The interdependency of water, energy and food security has long been highlighted, and since 2011 significant attention has been given to the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus in academic, policy, regulatory and development fraternities. The WEF nexus is a multi-centric lens through which to assess sustainable development and integrated resource management. This approach has direct links to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), principally SDGs 2, 6 and 7.
