Water nexus : saline water when possible, fresh water when needed

Research output: Book/Report › Report › Professional

Abstract

The ambition of the Water Nexus program was to develop integral solutions for problems with water scarcity in delta areas worldwide. The central paradigm shift was to consider saline water as a resource, and not as a threat: saline water where possible, freshwater where needed. Water Nexus focused on large fresh water volume sectors with an emphasis on industry, but in connection to agriculture, horticulture and ecosystems, with a high orientation on impact in solving scarcity.
