Household-level data on food-water-energy nexus consumption in the urban areas of the Pune Metropolitan Region, India

This article presents household-level socioeconomic data on food-water-energy nexus consumption collected through a survey conducted during the first quarter of 2020 in the urban areas of the Pune Metropolitan Region, India. The dataset includes 1872 observations from households residing in both formal and informal settlements. Data were collected via door-to-door interviews in the local language using a comprehensive, structured questionnaire administered through a computer-assisted web interviewing mobile application developed by the World Bank. Quality control was ensured through digital data capture, daily monitoring during fieldwork, and post-collection data validation. The dataset comprises 606 variables, including consumption data for water, energy, and food, alongside socioeconomic factors such as household composition, income, housing conditions, migration history, and household-level strategies to cope with intermittent water supply. The dataset can be used for econometric modeling of household demand, parameterization of multi-agent models, comparative analyses across regions, and empirical studies examining household challenges related to water, energy, and food security.
