An analysis of the relationship between water-energy-food system and economic growth in China based on ecological footprint measurement

Lian-yan Xu et al.

Summary: With the acceleration of urbanization, the demand for water, energy, and food (WEF) is increasing. However, infrastructure construction leads to a decline in cultivated land, water area, and forest land, highlighting the importance of ecological space management. This study proposes the concept of WEF footprint based on ecological footprint theory and examines the relationship between economic growth and WEF footprint using the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). The results reveal the existence of an M-shape curve in addition to traditional EKC shapes. The LOWESS model proves more conducive to reflecting the real relationship between economic growth and WEF footprint. The findings provide policy suggestions for promoting sustainable development of the water-energy-food system and offer insights into resolving land use conflicts.

Water-energy nexus: desalination technologies and renewable energy sources

Argyris Panagopoulos

Summary: Rapid population growth and industrialization have led to a significant decline in freshwater supply, making desalination an important solution to water scarcity. However, challenges such as hyper-saline by-products and high costs hinder the widespread adoption of desalination systems. Renewable energy is a promising alternative to fossil fuels for powering desalination plants. This review analyzes desalination technologies and renewable energy sources, discussing current challenges and future research directions.
