The water energy food (WEF) nexus approach seeks to assess relevant and consistent strategies to address challenges to the development of the three sectors, to meet the demand and achieve sustainable development. They are the most indispensable elements for life and development respectively. Besides that, the production and cost of one depend highly on the performance of each other. Not any country could attain a sustainable development without first developing the three sectors and satisfy the demand. Most of developing countries face the challenges in handling the management of these resources due to different reasons. Among those reasons, the most predominant are high population growth, lack of skills in water management, low use efficiency and energy resources management and impact of climate change. This research seeks to find out the best ways to handle barriers to WEF nexus development with the target to satisfy the need in a sustainable way.
