Abstract
The intricate relationship between water, energy, and climate (WEC) is central to the achievement of sustainable development goals. To achieve sustainability, economic viability, and reduction of environmental impacts including carbon emissions, a comprehensive understanding of the nexus between water, energy and climate is essential. This research investigates the role of the WEC nexus in Karst basins and its implications for sustainable water resources management. Karst basins are known for their distinctive hydrogeological features, such as sinkholes, springs, and underground aquifers. Understanding the dynamics of water flow and storage in these systems is critical for effective water resource management. This research investigates the complex interplay among these critical resources and develop strategies for their integrated management. By addressing the WEC Nexus (WECN), we can enhance resource efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, and contribute to a sustainable future. The study uses an integrated approach of hydrological modelling and remote sensing techniques. The results show a promising relationship between water, energy, and climate. This research provides policymakers, stakeholders, and communities with evidence-based insights and actionable strategies to address the WECN, contributing to sustainable development, climate mitigation, and resilience. By investigating and optimizing the WECN, this research proposal seeks to address pressing global challenges. A deeper understanding of the interactions between WEC in Karst basins, which will contribute to improved water resources management.
