Monitoring, Planning, and Management of Water Quality and Quantity for Resilient Water and Energy Systems
Both resilient systems where water is used for energy production and energy is used for treatment and operation depend not only on the quantity of water, but also quality and environmental health. Addressing gaps in environmental health and infrastructure condition/capability data...
Hansen, C., DeRolph, C., Allen-Dumas, M., Griffiths, N., Matson, P., Pilla, R., Siddik, A., Stevenson, L., and Johnson, R.
Wave Energy for Resilient Water Supply in Coastal Communities
This white paper examines the use of wave energy for desalination in coastal communities, focusing on enhancing resilience by providing a sustainable source of drinking water during disruptions (intersection of energy and water). Coastal areas, particularly remote ones, face signi...
Grasberger, J., and Klise, K.
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...
McPherson, T., Giovando, J., Daniel, B., Chatterjee, S., and Chowdhury, P.
High-Rate Manufacturing of Corrosion Resistant Composite Piping for Water-Energy Infrastructure Resilience
The work focuses on rapid and cost-efficient manufacturing of composite piping for hydropower, waste-water infrastructure and data center thermal management offering extended service life and minimal inspection-maintenance requirement under corrosive and high temperature environme...
Saha, S., Kim, P., Kumar, V., Spencer, R., and Hassen, A.
Hydrotwin: an AI-based physics and optimization framework for improved water resource resilience in systems experiencing adverse events
This white paper focuses on water for energy.
As we move ahead into an uncertain future for water resource demand and supply, a massive challenge exists to optimize water systems to be resilient to a range of press/pulse extreme event states and conditions. Optimal decision-makin...
Bennett, K., Schwenk, J., and Garcia, M.
Advancing Energy-Water Resilience through Integrated Science and Technology for Natural Infrastructure Management
This white paper focuses on water for energy.
The challenge is that ecosystems are under increasing stress from rising temperatures, prolonged drought, and intensifying disturbances like wildfire, insects, and land-use change, which can impact the hydrologic capacity of watershed...
Dickman, L., Atchley, A., Giovando, J., Fluet-Chouinard, E., Xu, C., and McPherson, T.
Thermoelectric and Hydropower Drought Monitor and Outlook: Tools for more robust resource adequacy planning and management
The primary focus is on issues related to water for energy; specifically, how drought-impacted water supply limits the generation potential of hydropower and thermoelectric assets.
Existing Challenge: Twenty-two droughts, each causing a billion dollars or more in damages have im...
Voisin, N., Tidwell, V., and Gerlich, J.
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...
