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.
Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Water Sources and Impacts on Water and Wastewater Treatment
This white paper examines the critical issue of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in water systems, emphasizing the need for advanced water reuse and reclamation technologies to mitigate water scarcity, particularly in arid and remote regions. These contaminants, which inclu...

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,...
Fluet-Chouinard, E., Jorgensen, J., Cotter, E., Niazi, H., Wild, T., Chalishazar, V., Pracheil, B., Griffiths, N., Hansen, C., and Chowdhury, K.
Process Design and Optimization for Wastewater Treatment Efficiency and Resilience
This white paper explores the benefits of using digital twins and mathematical programming techniques to optimize energy consumption in wastewater treatment processes, thereby enhancing resilience and efficiency. Key challenges faced by current facilities include high energy consu...
