On the 6th and 7th of February, Baltic Environmental Forum organized the Nexogenesis project 4th workshop “Water-energy-food-ecosystem Nexus: from interlinkage modelling to decision support tool and stakeholder agreement for integrated management of the Lielupe River Basin”.
Together with our dedicated project partners, we introduced progress on project activities in the Lielupe Case Study, presented results of System Dynamics Modelling, and overview of land use modelling data and other relevant topics.
NEXOGENESIS aims to facilitate the next generation of effective and intelligent water-related policies utilising artificial intelligence and reinforcement learning to assess the water-energy-food-ecosystem (WEFE) nexus. To effectively manage resources at the Lielupe River Basin and avoid conflicts between users, many relevant policies must be intelligently designed to address nexus interconnectedness at multiple spatial scales. The NEPAT (Nexogenesis Policy Assessment Tool) decision support tool addresses these challenges and is one of the most important solutions for sustainable, effective, and intelligent management of water resources in the Nexogenesis project. During the workshop, we presented the first version of this decision support tool and received valuable feedback.
We are grateful to all our stakeholders and experts for their commitment during these two intensive workshop days.
