RESUMO:

Integrated management across multiple sectors, popularly known as “Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus”) refers to a conceptual framework that proposes interconnected and interdependent management between the water, energy and food / agriculture sectors, based on good governance of these systems for designing more efficient and sustainable policies and actions. There is a growing interest in literature on this topic, especially in the last seven years. This has occurred due to the growing recognition that sectors that share natural resources have interdependent and interconnected systems. Understanding these complex interrelationships makes it possible to better deal with the uncertainties inherent in management and planning models, strengthening their strengths and improving their weaknesses. Despite the great popularity of this concept and its associated advantages, procedures and methodologies sufficiently capable of organizing its composition variables and assisting its development in a systematic and standardized manner have not yet been defined. In view of this, the present study aims to propose conceptual structures, procedures and methodologies aimed at assisting in the insertion of the nexus concept Water - Energy - Agriculture in planning and management models. In this sense, an extensive bibliographic review (meta-analysis) was carried out on the subject in question to define a systematic procedure that standardizes and orders the development of the nexus concept. This procedure is central to research, where from it, new structures and methodologies are proposed to meet specific steps. These steps include: (1) development of a conceptual framework to represent the interrelationships between different themes of composition of the nexus concept; (2) development of a methodology aimed at identifying, analyzing and selecting multisectoral databases; (3) identification and evaluation of the interrelationships between sectorial elements (physical and social variables) in the Brazilian context and definition of a methodology for classifying the level of integration between public policies using the nexus concept. With the results achieved in the first part of the study, it was possible to order a large number of variables that make up this theme and analyze the complexity involved in the interrelations between them. To assist in these analyzes, the main challenges and possibilities involving research contemplating a nexus approach in the Brazilian context through the knowledge of their databases were identified. The last part of the study, brought an understanding of the interlinks existing between the segments of water, energy and irrigated agriculture in Brazil, both in physical and social terms. The physical assessment took into account the water and energy flows in the energy sector (thermoelectric, oil refinery and hydroelectric), in the sanitation sector (water and sewage utilities), and in the agricultural sector. In social terms, the main Federal public policies for the sectors in question were analyzed, as well as the level of integration existing between regulatory legislation with the nexus concept. From the results mentioned, it can be inferred that in order to operationalize the nexus concept in the management and planning models in the Brazilian context, restructuring of institutional arrangements and adjustments to some public policies related to the water resources, energy and agriculture sectors are necessary, especially, regulatory laws. In the general context, this operationalization tends to occur in the medium and long term in different and temporally unequal ways in the different regions of the world, following a logic of priorities (economic, environmental and political) imposed by climate change pressures and a higher incidence of periods of scarcity.
