This study introduces chorematic focus maps (CFMs) as a groundbreaking method to visualize and tackle the WEF nexus\u2019s complexities, focusing specifically on the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve (DDBR). By merging geospatial analysis with on-site validation, this research reveals intricate interdependencies within the nexus and positions CFMs as an effective tool for stakeholders. This study adopts a methodological approach that focuses on identifying human activities and evaluating their impacts on the WEF nexus, with the goal of developing practical and grounded strategies for managing these essential resources. By testing this approach within the DDBR, the potential for wider application is demonstrated, offering a promising framework for addressing similar socio-environmental challenges across various regions. Future research directions include refining CFMs\u2019 precision and practicality through extended fieldwork and stakeholder engagement, testing the framework\u2019s adaptability across various locations and nexus dynamics. Additionally, incorporating cutting-edge technologies such as machine learning could provide deeper insights and reinforce CFMs\u2019 role in decision support for the WEF nexus. Conclusively, this investigation into the WEF nexus through CFMs emphasizes the critical need for strategies that navigate the complexities of environmental management and resource optimization, marking CFMs as a significant tool for both decision-makers and researchers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/w16070922","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,22]],"date-time":"2024-03-22T10:58:02Z","timestamp":1711105082000},"page":"922","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Water Energy Food Nexus in Urbanizing Wetlands: Challenges and Solutions Explored through Choremes and Focus Maps"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4238-0489","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dragos","family":"Balaican","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Danube Delta National Institute, 165 Babadag Street, 820112 Tulcea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3699-2043","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katrin","family":"Teubner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Functional and Evolutionary Ecology, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Vienna, 1030 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6318-0166","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iuliana-Mihaela","family":"Tudor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Danube Delta National Institute, 165 Babadag Street, 820112 Tulcea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Iulian","family":"Nichersu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Danube Delta National Institute, 165 Babadag Street, 820112 Tulcea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adrian","family":"Burada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Danube Delta National Institute, 165 Babadag Street, 820112 Tulcea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6373-6977","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristian","family":"Trifanov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Danube Delta National Institute, 165 Babadag Street, 820112 Tulcea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marian","family":"Tudor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Danube Delta National Institute, 165 Babadag Street, 820112 Tulcea, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8350-9424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catalina","family":"Iticescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Science and Environment, \u201cDun\u0103rea de Jos\u201d University of Galati, 47 Domneasca Street, 800008 Galati, Romania"},{"name":"Rexdan Research Infrastructure, \u201cDun\u0103rea de Jos\u201d University of Galati, George Cosbuc Street, No. 98, 800385 Galati, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9121-5714","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luminita","family":"Moraru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Science and Environment, \u201cDun\u0103rea de Jos\u201d University of Galati, 47 Domneasca Street, 800008 Galati, Romania"},{"name":"The Modelling & Simulation Laboratory SMlab, Dunarea de Jos University of Galati, 47 Domneasca Street, 800008 Galati, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Puiu-Lucian","family":"Georgescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Science and Environment, \u201cDun\u0103rea de Jos\u201d University of Galati, 47 Domneasca Street, 800008 Galati, Romania"},{"name":"Rexdan Research Infrastructure, \u201cDun\u0103rea de Jos\u201d University of Galati, George Cosbuc Street, No. 98, 800385 Galati, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) (2014).
