    Is it possible to do analysis on water-energy nexus for a country using LEAP?
    secondly, is there any forum from where i can get data set for Pakistan?

    Hi, this is Kang from China. I have done water-energy nexus analysis for a city in China. Though the scale differs, the model framework of LEAP and WEAP tools in this topic between a city and a country could be similar in many ways. Here is the publication of my research (pdf file see the attachment):
    Lin, Jianyi, et al. "Modeling the urban water-energy nexus: a case study of Xiamen, China." Journal of Cleaner Production 215 (2019): 680-688.
    hope it helps.

    Congratulations Kang - your paper looks really interesting and I like your thoughtful conclusions too. It suggests some necessary and important improvements we need to make to LEAP and WEAP in the future. We love getting that kind of constructive feedback! If it is OK with you, I will share the link to your paper on the LEAP Facebook page.

    Best wishes,

    Charlie
