Applications

Abstract

This chapter is to help the readers appreciate the wide range of situations that the concepts and tools presented in this book should be employed in order to get a better insight into their functioning. Most of the examples given are not real case studies; however, they are mostly adapted from real situations. The application examples are about urban water and wastewater cycle, urban water equity, irrigation under water scarcity, water-energy-food entangled systems, and the combined impact of an urban area and an irrigation zone on their common source of water, which is a river with a minimum water requirement. We also explain, through a simple example, the problems associated with an important water supply myth. The schematics of the WUSs used in this Chapter are given with the hope that they can sharpen the understanding of the ideas.
