Maximizing American Energy Dominance with Forecasts of Energy Infrastructure Flood Exposure and AI Predictions of Consequences
This white paper focuses on water for energy.
High frequency, reliable, and spatially explicit flood forecasts are necessary to forecast impacts to the energy system from hydrological hazards. While these tools are nearing operation at scale, they have not yet been systematicall...

Building Resilient Energy-Water Systems: Integrated Modeling, Scenario Selection, and Near-Term Decision Support
U.S. energy and water systems are increasingly interdependent, often leading to cascading and compounding system failures when faced with acute and chronic hazards. Such stressors propagate across multiple spatial scales, typically starting with changing earth system dynamics (for...
Rodriguez, L., Szinai, J., Stokes-Draut, J., Dwivedi, D., Ulrich, C., Holm, J., and Vahmani, P.
Natural Materials as a Pathway to Affordable and Scalable Membrane Separation Technologies
This white paper focuses on developing affordable and scalable membrane separation technologies derived from natural materials for selective extraction of critical minerals (CMs), such as lithium, manganese, and barium, from geothermal brines. This approach integrates with geother...

Energy-Water Interdependence Network (EWIN) of Regional Water Supply using Nonconventional Water for Energy-Water Resilience
The focal area of this paper is energy and water interconnection. The challenges faced include the need for extra energy to treat nonconventional water (NCW) and high reginal energy intensity of water supply using NCW. Near-term opportunities are establishing energy-water interdep...

A Coupled Energy-Water Storage Architecture for Resilient Urban Power and Water Distribution
This white paper proposes a coupled energy-water storage architecture to enhance the resilience of urban power and water distribution networks. The concept leverages GLIDES concept (Ground-Level Integrated Diverse Energy Storage), which is a pneumo-hydraulic storage technology dev...

Improved quantification of river nutrient loading for better water quality and more efficient energy use
The focus of this paper is multi-sector dynamics involving agriculture practices, water quality and energy. Currently there lacks high-resolution spatiotemporal data regarding water quality and usage, forcing the planning for water treatment to adopt the conservative, worst-case a...

Integrated Water-Energy-Economics Framework for Public Water System Resilience
This paper highlights key energy-for-water challenges in U.S. public water systems (PWS): aging infrastructure, cost recovery gaps, hydrologic vulnerabilities, and high-demand users like data centers--which concentrate near population centers and existing PWS. It underscores the n...

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...
