The role of large scale artificial water storage in the water- food-energy development nexus [1]

This study reviews the current status of medium to larger scale artificial water storage development with a focus on Africa. It assesses best practices in water storage development and management infrastructure for building sustainable livelihoods and mitigate climate change. It also analyses the linkages between water, energy and food security, and the role of water storage facilities in this nexus.
