Energy-Water Resilience through Underground Pumped Storage Hydropower (UPSH): Integrating Water Infrastructure for Enhanced Energy and Water Security
This white paper provides an overview of Underground Pumped Storage Hydropower (UPSH), a concept that addresses the intersection of water for energy and energy-water topics by utilizing subsurface formations for energy storage, leveraging excess surface water, treated wastewater, ...
Atkinson, T., Acharya, M., Russell, G., Colldeweih, R., Saulsbury, B., Reese, S., Mosier, T., and Schmidt, H.
Accelerating the Acquisition of Irrigation Modernization Benefits
Accelerating the modernization of off-farm irrigation water delivery infrastructure can hasten the acquisition of many energy-water benefits: water and energy conservation, energy generation and grid reliability, and additional water conservation and increased agricultural yields ...
Jorgensen, J., Saulsbury, B., Cafferty, K., Golden, B., Kueny, K., Hou, H., and Niazi, H.
Aligning Bytes with Basins to Promote Data Center Growth in the U.S.
This white paper examines the water-energy tradeoffs of U.S. data-center expansion, highlighting how cooling choices, power sourcing, and siting decisions shape local water security, grid resilience, and watershed sustainability. The study focuses on integrating direct (on-site po...

Energy/Water Operation Smart Contract for Hydropower Plant/Data Centers
We propose an Energy/Water Operation Smart Contract that securely coordinates hydropower plant operations with energy-intensive data-center clusters using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). The smart contract provides a decentralized, tamper-resistant layer for operational contr...
Hink, R., Piesciorovsky, E., Hahn, G., Werth, A., and Wang, H.
Unlocking Hydropower Potential from Environmental Flows for Energy-Water Resilience
This white paper examines how mandated environmental flow (E-flow) releases at hydropower dams can be leveraged to generate renewable energy while maintaining ecological integrity. Environmental flows sustain aquatic ecosystems but often bypass turbines, representing lost generati...
DeNeale, S., Connor, M., and McManamay, R.
Continuous Reservoir Sedimentation Management: Cost-Effective Hydrosuction Dredging Demonstration at John Redmond Reservoir, Kansas
The focal area of this whitepaper is water for energy & energy for water: Advancing cost and energy-efficient reservoir sedimentation management operations through hydrosuction dredging technology, sustained by leveraging an existing adjacent grid or developing integrated microgri...
