Description

This is the dataset used in the study "Hydro-economic analysis of infrastructure investment options within the Water-Energy-Food nexus in the Niger River basin". This study has been conducted within the Department of Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark as a Master Thesis project.  

The dataset describes the water-energy-food nexus of the Niger River basin used as input to the open source single objective hydro-economic optimization model WHAT-IF. Note that the Energy Module is partly filled, but has not been used in the study (except the hydropower sheet).

More information on data organization here.

The model is documented in this publication.

The code is available on Github.
