Without sufficient water resources, the provision of various types of energy carriers, and energy supply, access to available water resources is impossible. Without the provision of these two resources, food security will be at risk. The relationship between these three vital human resources is, while transparent, very complex and extensive. The water-energy-food security nexus is the management of the most basic natural resources to meet human needs in the light of their internal and external drivers. The purpose of the present study is to examine two widely used approaches in quantifying the water-energy-food security nexus in urban areas, including: (1) input-output analysis based on modern management and (2) the portfolio concept based on economic theory, and to describe the most important challenges in quantifying the nexus and achieving a generalizable computational modeling based on previous research that have not been considered so far. Understanding these challenges helps to assess conflicts and find solutions that balance demand in different sectors.
