2. How are institutional capacity, coordination, distributional issues, social mobility, and the political-economic context related to effective governance of
watersheds?
3. How is the interdependence of food, energy, and water systems revealed in
watersheds or catchment areas?
4. How do land use, population growth, and increasing demand for food, energy,
and water exert pressure on watershed ecosystem services?
5. How do land uses, population growth, and increasing demand for food, energy,
and water exert pressure on ecosystem services and contribute to environmental
degradation and the depletion of natural capital in watersheds?
6. Describe how these pressures on watersheds and their ecosystem services are
related to linkages in the food–energy–water nexus.
7. How do these pressures pose challenges for cross-border governance of watersheds at the nexus of food, energy, and water systems?
8. How do the impacts of global climate change add to the complexity of the food–
energy–water nexus in the context of watersheds? Describe the implications of an
integrated approach to watershed governance, management, and planning.
9. Describe the challenges related to the downstream impacts of upstream land
uses in the context of watersheds. How are these challenges related to linkages
in the food–energy–water nexus?
10. In the case of the Great Lakes of North America, describe how the pressures on
the watersheds and their ecosystem services are related to the linkages in the
food–energy–water nexus.
11. In the case of the Great Lakes of North America, what are the challenges for
cross-border governance of watersheds? Describe how each challenge is associated with unsustainable natural resource uses.
12. In the case of the Amazon River Basin in South America, describe how the
pressures on the watersheds and their ecosystem services are related to the linkages in the food–energy–water nexus.
13. In the case of the Amazon River Basin in South America, what are the challenges for cross-border governance of watersheds? Describe how each challenge is associated with unsustainable natural resource uses.
14. In the case of the Lake Victoria Basin in East Africa, describe how the pressures
on the watershed and its ecosystem services are related to the linkages in the
food–energy–water nexus.
15. In the case of the Lake Victoria Basin in East Africa, what are the challenges
for cross-border governance of watersheds? Describe how each challenge is
associated with unsustainable natural resource uses.
16. How do differences in the political, economic, and social contexts of watersheds affect decision-making related to the food–energy–water nexus in regions
where water resources are abundant?
17. How do the challenges associated with resource access rights, designated land
uses, and protection of ecosystem services become more difficult when watersheds share multiple jurisdictional borders and different systems of governance
and protection?
