A systems approach to modeling the water-energy-land-food nexus : system dynamics modeling and dynamic scenario planning. Volume II /

Water, energy, land, and food (WELF) resources are critical components in the overall discourse on sustainable human development. Over the next 50 years, rapid population, urbanization, and economic growth worldwide will create unprecedented demands for such resources, as well as for health, transpo...
