This study developed a multi-objective optimization model to address these issues. Results showed relatively equitable water allocation, with Gini coefficients consistently below 0.29 across all scenarios. Agricultural water use ranged from 71.71 to 80.53 x 10 9 m 3 , while seasonal pumped hydropower storage reservoirs increased upstream controllable water to 42.91-58.47 x 10 9 m 3 (35%-44%). Hydropower remained stable owing to reservoir coordination. However, to ensure ecological flows (35.38-37.78 x 10 9 m 3 ), crop areas should be reduced by 14.37%-21.05% under SSP2-4.5 and 16.16%- 23.93% under SSP5-8.5. A trade-off emerged between benefits and water allocation equity, particularly in high-emission, low-inflow scenarios, alongside a positive correlation between benefits and greenhouse gas emissions. These findings emphasize the critical need for integrated management of the Aral Sea Basin's interconnected resource systems.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"A transboundary water allocation strategy for the Aral Sea Basin the water-food-environment nexus","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-10-05 01:50:03.718606","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"AuthorKeywords":"climate-change;resources;energy","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2025,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2026-09-28","DateCreate":"2026-09-28","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:001762145900001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1016/j.xinn.2026.101257"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":448511,"PubliDate":2025,"Pagination":"101257","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"7","Issue":"5","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":383166,"SerRR":"The Innovation.
