Water-related diseases continue to plague mankind, exacerbated by the staggering cost of water purification and distribution. Shockingly, over 30% of treated piped water is lost as non-revenue water, primarily due to leakages. The surge of water contaminants resulting from industrialization has further complicated water treatment processes. Moreover, the adverse effects of climate change on water availability have negatively impacted rain-fed agriculture, contributing to food insecurity. An intricate analysis of the water–food–energy nexus reveals that resolving water-related challenges can increase food availability by up to 80% and contribute substantially to energy solutions. Addressing this complexity necessitates unconventional approaches.
