WANDEL: Water Resources as Important Factor of the Energy Transition at the Local and Global Level
ISAP | 18th July 2018 | Yokohama, Japan
Dr. Julia Terrapon-Pfaff
Agenda# Water-Energy Nexus – State of the art
# Introduction research project WANDEL
# Case study Concentrated solar power (CSP), Drâa Valley, Morocco

Technical assessments
Water focus
Material and resource flows
Current Research Focus
Global and national scales
Research needs WEF-Nexus
Knowledge needs regarding the role of renewable energies in the nexus context
Limited literature that focuses on all three sectors of the nexus from a social science angle
Need to focus on local level, applying local solutions and decentralised approaches, as well as the inclusion of social aspects and development of people centred approaches

How to operationalize the WEF Nexus? Nexus assessment approach to assess future developments
Mapping the links between the water, food and energy sector based on a qualitative analysis 1.
2. Identifying critical links together with local stakeholders
3. Developing scenario narratives and quantifying the links
4. Develop solutions together with local stakeholders and leverage the results to e.g. improve project designs, support decision-making, give policy recommendations
