Energy-Water System Resilience to Flooding
This white paper addresses the resilience challenges and opportunities within interdependent energy-water systems, particularly under the stress of flooding events. It describes how large-scale flood events impact these systems, posing risks such as operational constraints, infras...
McPherson, T., Giovando, J., Hou, H., Daniel, B., Bracken, C., Li, X., and Bixler, T.
Joint modeling of water and energy for resilience and flexibility
The white paper focuses on the intersection of energy and potable water systems through joint modeling to enhance resilience, flexibility, and operational efficiency. The paper identifies the lack of integrated modeling tools as the primary obstacle in managing interconnected wate...
Chini, C., Thomas, M., Bixler, T., and Cejudo, C.
Quantifying compound hazard risk to energy and water systems
The focal area is identification and quantification of the risk of combined (compound) hazards on water and energy systems and their interactions. The existing challenge is addressing risk and consequences to energy and water systems by compound hazards is an emerging area of stud...
Giovando, J., Chen, T., Fang, Y., Feng, S., McPherson, T., Regier, P., and Wang, T.
Managing Systemic Interdependence within Energy-Water-Transportation Systems
This white paper discusses the complex interdependence between energy, water, and transportation (EWT) systems, which underpins critical infrastructure and supply chains. Failures in any of these systems can cause cascading disruptions across the others due to their tight integrat...

Water-Energy-Economics: Leveraging Market Instruments for Building Resilience
Energy and water systems exist in an economic context that shapes their supply and use, which in turn shapes the macroeconomics of the country. A holistic energy-water-economics view is needed that links physical resource constraints, sectoral interdependencies, policy and managem...

Synergistic Pathways for Water Security in Emerging Sectors: Data Centers and Modern Nuclear Facilities
Stand-alone data centers, nuclear-powered data centers, and novel nuclear facilities such as fusion plant and small modular reactors are water intensive sectors poised to rapidly expand, presenting a significant challenge to the water-for-energy nexus. The potential for large-scal...
Catalano, A., Duan, Z., Quimby, C., Wang, T., Chini, C., Premathilake, L., and Pope, J.
A National Framework for Water-Informed Geothermal Expansion and Energy-Water Resilience
This white paper outlines the need for a coordinated, national framework to guide geothermal energy expansion in ways that use water efficiently and strengthen energy-water resilience. It highlights the opportunity to connect national-to-regional modeling with site-scale analysis,...

Accounting for Water-Energy Co-Benefits of Floating Photovoltaics (FPV)
Floating photovoltaic projects, as well as those that span over waterways (i.e. canopy), present potential technological and economic advantages over ground-mounted systems that have fueled rapid global growth in installed capacity in recent years. Aside from expanding generation,...
