Impact assessment of climate and land use change on the water-energy-food nexus: An application to the Ping River Basin, Thailand.

Despite growing recognition of the water-energy-food nexus (WEFN), understanding the combined impacts of climate and land use changes on these resources and their interdependencies remains limited. This study introduces a framework to evaluate these impacts and applies it to the Ping River Basin, Thailand. The framework is systematic and adaptable to river basins worldwide, with models tailored to regional climate conditions, data availability, and resource interactions.

A disaggregated assessment of national water security: An application to the river basins in Thailand.

Achieving water security is a global concern in the age of changing climate, population increase, urbanization, intensive socio-economic development, and land-use change. Addressing water security challenges is most appropriate at the river basin scale since hydrological boundaries at which water flows differ from administrative boundaries, and it can provide policymakers and decision-makers key insights to better support water management practices. This study carries out a disaggregated assessment of national water security by applying an indicator-based framework to evaluate water security conditions in all twenty-five river basins of Thailand from 2007 to 2015.
