Mutually reliant relationship between entities (objects, individuals, or groups) [2]. The degree of interdependency does not need to be equal in both directions. For example, the Energy Sector depends on a functioning Water Sector for successful day-to-day operations, just as the Water Sector needs energy to effectively manage water and wastewater systems [3].

Interdependency is the complete or partial mutual dependency of several goods or services [4].
