Energy Nexus

Water, Food, and PowerThis is an inter-disciplinary journal which covers the deep, broad, meaningful convergence between Energy, Water, and Agriculture. The journal topics will include grid systems dynamics, power-plant cooling, hydrology, increased production planning, aquaculture, biomass fuels, hydropower, renewable energy, energy system dynamics modeling and informatics as well as other topics.

The need for the journal is the growing competition, collaboration, and demand for finite natural resources for use in energy production, water, and agriculture. This journal considers policy in its broad reaching scope, hoping to serve as a forum for discussion.
