The RETOUCH NEXUS project was presented by\u00a0<\/span>Safa\u00a0Baccour\u00a0(UPV)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0with a contribution entitled:\u00a0<\/span>\u201cWater pricing impacts on cross-sectoral performance in a water-stressed basin.\u201d<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The presentation addressed a central challenge in water governance: how to design policy instruments that simultaneously support water conservation, economic sustainability, and ecosystem protection across sectors.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The research introduces an\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>integrated hydro-economic model (HEM)<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>developed within a\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>framework. This model links biophysical, hydrological, economic, and ecological components to assess cross-sectoral performance under future climate and socio-economic scenarios. It integrates climate projections, hydrological modelling, agricultural water demand, energy and agricultural price projections, and ecological indicators, enabling a systemic analysis of water governance strategies.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Applied to the\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>J\u00facar<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>River Basin<\/span><\/span>, the study evaluates\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>uniform and dynamic water pricing strategies<\/span><\/span>. The results\u00a0<\/span><\/span>demonstrate<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>that both approaches can significantly reduce unsustainable water use, improve system efficiency, and strengthen ecological resilience. Uniform pricing generates strong conservation incentives and major reductions in water withdrawals, while dynamic pricing enables more adaptive management by adjusting prices to scarcity conditions, helping to preserve economic performance across sectors. Both strategies contribute to reducing habitat stress and improving long-term ecosystem stability.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This contribution provides concrete evidence of how\u00a0<\/span>well-designed, nexus-aligned water pricing policies<\/span><\/b>\u00a0can\u00a0optimize\u00a0trade-offs between sectors, support sustainability, and promote balanced outcomes across water, energy, food, and ecosystems.

Through this activity, RETOUCH NEXUS continues to\u00a0demonstrate\u00a0how science-based, cross-sectoral tools can support more\u00a0equitable, efficient, and resilient water management in water-stressed regions across Europe and beyond.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
