This book highlights the pivotal role of water infrastructure as the bridge between water availability, supply, and stability, essential for achieving water security. Water Security in Sub-Saharan Africa: Digitalization and Sustainability of Water Infrastructure focus on three strategic areas: digitalization, sustainability, and investment paradigms for water infrastructure. Its goal is to achieve and stabilize water security in Sub-Saharan Africa through transformative infrastructure solutions.This book seeks to address the challenges of water scarcity by advancing water security in Sub-Saharan Africa through sustainable digital water infrastructure. It develops comprehensive frameworks that integrate digitalization and sustainability principles into water infrastructure design and management. Beginning with an exploration of water security dynamics and underpinning theories, the book examines the concept of water infrastructure through case studies. Using the Delphi technique, it proposes a sustainability framework encompassing cleaner production, water efficiency, green infrastructure, and the circular water economy. Additionally, the book explores the integration of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Blockchain, into water infrastructure. These advancements culminate in a synthesized framework for sustainable digitalization, which is analyzed across various investment paradigms, considering urban-rural dynamics.This groundbreaking book is the first to comprehensively integrate digitalization and sustainability into water infrastructure management. It aims to support informed decision-making for achieving water security in Africa. By offering cost-effective solutions for water operations and maintenance, real-time monitoring, and strategies for water efficiency, the book promotes optimal water allocation and improved water quality. Furthermore, it seeks to reshape and repurpose water-related policies, aligning them with digital and sustainability principles to enhance their effectiveness. The book also outlines strategies for attracting critical investments to the water sector, providing a roadmap for sustainable water security in Sub-Saharan Africa.This book is a must-have for policy makers, investors, researchers and practitioners within the water sector for optimal utilization and security of water resources.

This book introduces a comprehensive and sustainable project delivery framework tailored for managing the Water, Energy and Food (WEF) nexus in developing economies. Its primary objectives include establishing the determinants of the nexus, exploring the sustainability dynamics of the resources, delineating the role of digital technologies in WEF nexus projects, evaluating the interoperation of the three resources with sustainable development goals (SDGs) and subsequently formulating a sustainable project delivery framework. Timely in its release, the book provides essential policy directions and technological perspectives within the realms of sustainability. Water, energy, and food (WEF) resources constitute vital components pivotal for a nation's socio-economic development and fundamental for human survival due to their intricate interdependencies. Recognizing their paramount importance, the World Economic Forum underscores their role in a country's growth trajectory. However, the sustainable management of WEF resources in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution necessitates an integrative framework for project delivery.Unfortunately, a significant gap exists in understanding the determinants of the nexus between water, energy, and food resources, resulting in insecurity in their management. Compounding this challenge, the emergence of new technologies in the fourth industrial revolution has not received adequate consideration for ensuring resource security.The book adopts a meticulous approach, conducting an in-depth review of existing models, frameworks, and theories. Furthermore, it supplements this analysis with an insightful interview case study. Notably, this pioneering work distinguishes itself as the first to view WEF resources as interconnected nexus projects, with a keen acknowledgment of the indispensable role played by digital technology. Moreover, its targeted focus on addressing the unique challenges prevalent in developing economies adds a layer of specificity often absent in existing literature on the WEF nexus. Researchers seeking a deeper understanding of the integration between the WEF nexus and digital technologies will find substantial value in the contents of this book.The book is divided into five sections, providing a systematic exploration of the subject. The sections cover background information on WEF resources and its nexus, underpinning theories of resource interaction, theoretical frameworks relevant to the nexus, the role of digital technologies in managing the WEF nexus, interoperation of sustainability and SDG with the nexus, presentation of an in-depth case study and conclude with valuable insights and recommendations.
