The water-energy nexus
The Stockholm Environment Institute has integrated two existing software tools, WEAP and LEAP, to address the 'water-energy nexus'—the interdependency where water is required for energy production and energy is required for water management. While WEAP models water demand and supply and LEAP handles energy and greenhouse gas mitigation planning, their integration allows planners to analyze tradeoffs, such as the energy intensity of desalination or the water requirements of concentrating solar power, which were previously difficult to assess using the tools in isolation.
