Brief Description
SusWEF aims to provide scientific support to the introduction of water and energy-saving irrigation technologies in Uzbekistan. Embedded within the WEF (Water–Energy–Food) Nexus, this project aims to investigate interdependencies between water and energy consumption in dryland areas of Uzbekistan. Geared towards soil rehabilitation and climate adaptation, the goal is to develop methods and recommend measures for technological and economic planning of modern irrigation technologies – primarily drip and sprinkler irrigation – as well as influence policy decisions towards taking socio-economic aspects into account.
