Abstract: Water-energy-food nexus can be considered as a complex network that is constituted by a large number of system elements (nodes) and their connections (edges). Identification of the hub nodes i. e., the key elements of the network is a critical step in simulating the water-energy-food nexus. This study coupled System Dynamics modeling and Network Analysis (NA) to identify the key elements of the water-energy-food nexus. Two cases concerning different scales of water-energy-food nexus are used for demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
