| Résumé : | Iran, like most of the developing countries in the world, faces many issues with limiting water, energy, and food resources. On the other hand, the state of the watersheds is being destroyed due to the imbalance between human and the environment leading to different environmental, social, economic, and political consequences. This requires a change of mindset so that we can understand what we do every day on the water–energy–food (WEF) nexus. Balance establishment among various main components of the ecosystems based on the WEF nexus approach is considered as one of the important parts of integrated and adaptive watershed management. This chapter briefly discusses on the concept, standards, and methods of the WEF nexus. An example of the application of the WEF nexus will also be presented from Iran exploring the interconnections between chapters of the nexus and integrated watershed management approaches. From the results and existing evidence, it can be concluded that the WEF nexus would be a practical, adjustable, and adaptive approach for fulfilling increasing demands of the human while there is a glance to limited resources. Based on the available literatures and the case study done by the authors, it can be ultimately concluded that the adoption of the WEF nexus would facilitate better achievements in integrated management of the watersheds. |
