Integrated Water-Energy Management for Mining

This white paper focuses on the intersection of energy-water with the mining sector. The challenges include that mining is a water and energy intensive industry, mining can impact surface water and groundwater, limited water quality sampling occurs at mine sites, and there are o...

Minimizing Costs and Risk for Rural Water Systems

Many rural and remote populations either lack access to treated water supplies or are served by water systems that are at risk from increasing contaminant concentrations, aging infrastructure, unreliable supplies, and/or groundwater depletion. Recent research has shown that these ...

Field-Validated, Grid-Interactive Irrigation for Energy-Water Resilience in Puerto Rico's Agricultural Experimental Stations

Puerto Rico's irrigation infrastructure depends primarily on electrically powered pumping and distribution systems, making agricultural water delivery highly vulnerable to grid instability and frequent outages. This white paper proposes the development and validation of grid-inter...
