Large-scale water storage in the water, energy and food nexus: Perspectives on benefits, risks and best practice

Large-scale water storage in the water, energy and food nexus: Perspectives on benefits, risks and best practice, by Mr. Andreas Lindström and Dr. Jakob Granit, provides an overview of the current status of large scale artificial water storage development and its functions in the water, energy and food security nexus. The paper presents a typology of water storage structures and provides an analysis of the risks, benefits and trade-offs posed by different storage options. It also highlights good practices and lessons learned from past experiences and explores emerging opportunities for water storage schemes to enhance water, energy and food security in the future.
