dc.description.abstractThe aim of the project is to develop a modelling framework that will increase resource use efficiency along with policy coherence, through interlinkages of water, energy and food security factors in remote and impoverished areas. The case study centres around the municipality of Elundini, located in the North of the Eastern Cape. The area is a catchment for the Umzimvubu River and is characterised by rugged, mountainous terrain and abundance of water. A nexus orientated modelling framework is applied that develops interventions to supply power and piped water where it is lacking, as well as improving agricultural practices.en
