Abstract: Of all the challenges facing the sustainability of cities, water, food and energy are the most critical. In the context of rapid urbanization, unsustainable human activities have resulted in fundamental changes in the structure and function of land cover and urban water systems, and the degradation of ecosystem services. Taking Beijing - a typical fast-growing mega city - as an example, to establish a food-energy-water impact model, this research studied the temporal-spatial changes in the water system pattern in a mega city, along with the driving forces, especially the nexus to rice production and energy, and the ensuing series of environmental impacts.
