EVENT DETAILS
This event, organized by Accenture, World Resources Institute, World Wildlife Fund, & Deltares, will be held in advance of the UN 2023 Water Conference.

The interlinkages of water, energy, & food have been examined & expressed in the concept of the water-energy-food nexus since the 2007-08 global financial crisis propelled them into the spotlight. The nexus concept has allowed academics & other resources practitioners to express the interdependencies & constraints between these three systems, & to offer solutions that bridge across them.

We are entering a new era of addressing nexus problems - applying remote monitoring, analytics, AI, & machine learning to water sustainability is unearthing new insights & solutions. The open data revolution has given access to organizations that would not be able to gather & process data themselves.

In this session, experts from Accenture, Deltares, Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Google, Microsoft, Water Resources Management Authority in Zambia, World Wildlife Fund, & World Resources Institute will discuss the role of advanced technology & multi-sectoral collaboration in addressing nexus issues, & provide a deep dive into the Global Water Watch platform with a chance for the audience to provide feedback on this tool. Global Water Watch, supported by Google & the Water, Peace, & Security Partnership, is a data platform of free, globally accessible near-real-time information on water. It provides information on thousands of global reservoirs, helping decision-makers respond to extreme weather events & managing growing risks of climate change. The platform uses modern AI & EO algorithms to map dams & produce high-resolution spatiotemporal information on the amount of water stored in reservoirs in near-real-time.
