Integrated water resources management (IWRM) has been central to governance and worldwide since the 1990s. Recognizing significance of an integrated approach as a way achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), IWRM was formally incorporated part SDG global indicator framework, thus committing UN its Member States achieving high implementation by 2030 measuring progress through 6.5.1. This paper examines extent which improves sustainable health water-related ecosystems-a first-of-its-kind in terms quantitative analysis on scale. To this objective, we conducted regression analyses between 6.5.1 (both (total score) dimensions 6.5.1) key environmental sustainability indicators: 6.2.1a (access basic sanitation), 6.3.1 (treated wastewater), 6.4.1 (water-use efficiency), 6.4.2 (water stress), 6.6.1 (freshwater ecosystems, although here trophic state turbidity variables were used) 6.3.2 (ambient quality). Our covers 124 countries for all these SDGs, with exception 6.3.2, cover 112 85 countries, respectively. Results show that IWRM-to different degrees-is mainly associated good status indicators, stress, quality, turbidity. We observe strong impact control such arrangements, economic situation geographical conditions. Lagged effects scope framework may also explain some observed variations degree association. study highlights importance further uncovering interlinkages achievement sustainability. Overall, results suggest is primarily linked systems, context-specific factors should be taken into account when evaluating effectiveness, enable policy- decision-makers make necessary adjustments optimize outcomes.

Supply systems for water, energy and food in the Gulf region are becoming highly interlinked. In last decades, interdependence was evident increase of coproduction plants cross-sectoral resource use footprints. light increasing integration due to growing scarcities, construction mega projects coproduction, renewables across sectors, security notion can be revisited. This paper proposes a view supply based on systems’ characteristics under change their ability deal with risks shocks (resilience). It introduces internal external risk factors highlights recent knowledge such risks. Further, explains vulnerability planning like scale, intensity level service provisions together related growth, technology, market climate. insecurities, we stress importance investing management resilience policies infrastructure planning. Response measures future focus options storage, knowledge, diversification and, importantly, promoting regional cooperation synergies from common between countries Cooperation Council (GCC).

In the era of Anthropocene, understanding dynamic interactions between humans and water is crucial for supporting both human well-being sustainable management resources. The current challenges are inherently unpredictable difficult to control. Social-ecological systems (SESs) approaches explicitly recognize connections feedbacks natural systems. For addressing complex consideration SES attributes such as causality (or interdependence), feedback, non-linearity, heterogeneity, cross-scale dynamics important. addition, innovative qualitative quantitative methods Bayesian networks, agent-based modelling, system dynamics, network analysis, multicriteria integrated assessment role-play games have recently been used in research. overall goal this review gauge extent which considered within interdisciplinary paradigm. paper therefore develops normative theoretical characteristics terms its key (i.e. causality, nonlinearity, dynamics) incorporated paradigm approaches. then compares applied examines how they can complement each other. Finally, reflects back on usefulness assessing makes recommendations future

This study explores how the concept and research on water-energy-food (WEF) nexus has evolved over time. The uncovers key terms underpinning phenomenon, maps interlinkages between WEF topics, provides an overview of evolution nexus. We analyzed published academic literature from Scopus database performed both qualitative quantitative analyses using Natural Language Processing method. findings suggest that approach is increasingly evolving into integrative concept, been incorporating new topics time, resulting in different methods for research, with a focus interdisciplinary inter-sectoral analyses. Through five periods outlined, we have identified debate focused following predominant topics: i) Trend 1 (2012–2016) debates water management natural resource security, ii) 2 (2017–2018) linkages nexus, sustainable development goals green economy, iii) 3 (2019) governance policy integration, iv) 4 (2020) application scales, including regions, countries, watersheds, urban areas as well other components coupled to and, v) 5 (2021) climate change challenges.
