MindMap Gallery Water food energy and climate
The interconnected topics of water, food, energy, and climate are crucial components of sustainable development and environmental stewardship. A mind map about these subjects can help illustrate the complex relationships and dependencies between them. It can outline the impact of climate change on water resources, agriculture, and energy production, as well as the ways in which these sectors contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. By visually mapping out the concepts related to water, food, energy, and climate, a mind map can serve as a valuable tool for policymakers, researchers, and advocates working towards a more sustainable and resilient future.

Shift to EV
Energy use of EV
Intital suggestion quite low
https://www.energy.gov/eere/vehicles/articles/fact-995-september-18-2017-electric-vehicle-charging-home-typically-draws
Most electric vehicles charging at home on a 240-volt level 2 charger will draw about 7,200 watts or less
https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/stateline/2020/01/09/electric-cars-will-challenge-state-power-grids
Also possibly act as a battery V2G
The average electric vehicle requires 30 kilowatt-hours to travel 100 miles

Is Rwanda ready for a large-scale drought?
What does large scale drought look like? (National contingency plan for drought)
Drought of longer than 1 year
Impacts 1-3 million people
More than 50% of households don't have food
70% of cropped and pasture area damaged
Agriculture price increases 300%
75% school dropout
Disease increase more than 100%
20-30 human deaths in month
Over 200 livestock deaths
Less likely
For context: 3 month dryness most likely with 3-6 and 6-12 both considered likely
https://www.minema.gov.rw/fileadmin/user_upload/Minema/Publications/Contingency_Plans/Contingency_Plan_for_Drought.pdf - 2018
Previous droughts to contextualise
Rumanyamasunzu famine
Ruzagayura famine
How will drought impact Rwanda's energy systems?
Disaster prepardness for drought and Food secuirty both do not mention energy needs/generation
Energy Generation impacts
47% of energy coming from hydro
New capacity includes hydro, peat and methane
Dry season result in lower hydroproduction
Expensive diesel generation capacity is roughly equivalent to hydro in terms of available capacity in part to address the seasonality of hydro
Rwanda is targetting 60% of electricity from renewable energy by 2030
https://www.reg.rw/fileadmin/user_upload/LCPDP_REPORT_June_2019.pdf
Energy consumption impacts
Evening peak due to large share of residential energy use
Demand modelled on 10% growth rate
Increase in EVs in rwanda
Depends on how implemented
If allow vehicle batteries to supplement grid could act as battery for grid
e.g. Cape Town "Power heroes"
https://www.businessinsider.co.za/one-less-eskom-load-shedding-stage-with-cape-town-remote-controlled-geysers-2022-10
If people simply charge as they get home this will worsen the peak
(at least all residential cars Motos already have charging stations during the day but those will probably also see a surge as people charge at the end of their days
Key is time of use tariffs and changing consumer behaviour

How will drought impact Rwanda's Food systems?
Impact on food production?
How reliant is farming on irrigation/rainwater
90% of farmers don't use irrigation
9.2% in season A and 8.3% in season B and 59% in Season C (which is smaller (SAS 2021)
More than half of irrigation water is lake/stream
53.7% Season A, 51.2% season B, 53.3% Season B (SAS 2021)
Government response
National Strategic Grain Reserves (Maize, beans and rice)
Sugar, salt, oil and porridge can be added
Regional stress as well
Migration and security
Most trade is food
Climate change impacts
Oct rains and beans?
Options
Early warnings from satellite imagery
How will drought impact regional migration?
How can we prepare?
Time-of-use trariffs for electricity
incentives lower useage during peak times
May require upgrades to metering (tbc)
Risk assessment weaknesses highlighted in the National disater preparedness
Continuous food security monitoring system is not operational
Data sharing with stakeholders.
Fragmented data sources and not regularly updated
Use existing NPDM (National Platform for Disaster Management)
Lacks regular meetings
Can coordinate around Food Security and Nutrition (FSN)
Regional coordination is also important
Early warning possible with existing data
Price hikes from Esoko
Reduction in planting/harvesting from SAS
