The main thrust of this chapter is to explore the connections between water, energy, and food in the context of the United States and to bring awareness to some of the numerous ways these valuable resources interact with and are dependent upon one another, and how their management affects the environment. Many federal agencies are engaged in the water-foodenergy (WEF) nexus in the United States.
