Renewable Energy for Water–Energy Nexus in Euphrates and Tigris River Basin
September 16th, 2021

Via Springer, an interesting abstract for a paper examining the watergy nexus in the Euphrates and Tigris River basin:

Understanding the interdependency of energy and water and the influencing factors as well as how this interrelation impacts the other essential sectors for the riparian states in the Euphrates and Tigris river basin. A literature review was conducted on the water stress, dispute and the renewable energy resources available in the basin. The water usage in the energy sector and the energy consumption in the water sector are reviewed. Nexus thinking and stakeholders’ engagement approach were discussed to mitigate the water dispute in the basin. The asymmetry in power with the resources diversity in the riparian countries was promoted as an entry point for more collaboration and joint actions. The renewable energy resources availability was reviewed incomparable to the status of the renewable energy sources utilised, that already exist or are planned in the basin.

About This Blog And Its Author
As the scarcity of water and energy continues to grow, the linkage between these two critical resources will become more defined and even more acute in the months ahead.  This blog is committed to analyzing and referencing articles, reports, and interviews that can help unlock the nascent, complex and expanding linkages between water and energy -- The Watergy Nexus -- and will endeavor to provide a central clearinghouse for insightful articles and comments for all to consider.

Educated at Yale University (Bachelor of Arts - History) and Harvard (Master in Public Policy - International Development), Monty Simus has held a lifelong interest in environmental and conservation issues, primarily as they relate to freshwater scarcity, renewable energy, and national park policy.  Working from a water-scarce base in Las Vegas with his wife and son, he is the founder of Water Politics, an organization dedicated to the identification and analysis of geopolitical water issues arising from the world’s growing and vast water deficits, and is also a co-founder of SmartMarkets, an eco-preneurial venture that applies web 2.0 technology and online social networking innovations to motivate energy & water conservation.  He previously worked for an independent power producer in Central Asia; co-authored an article appearing in the Summer 2010 issue of the Tulane Environmental Law Journal, titled: “The Water Ethic: The Inexorable Birth Of A Certain Alienable Right”; and authored an article appearing in the inaugural issue of Johns Hopkins University's Global Water Magazine in July 2010 titled: “H2Own: The Water Ethic and an Equitable Market for the Exchange of Individual Water Efficiency Credits.”
