Cross-sector Decision-making Support for Energy-Water Resilience
Cross-sector decision-making support has the potential to advance energy-water resilience across scales, geographies, and technologies. Research and development of structured frameworks, tools, and participatory processes can help to inform joint evaluation of trade-offs, align pr...
Arkema, K., Daly, M., Duffy, K., Gunn, C., Henderson, C., Hou, H., Johnston, K., Marten, B., Morrice, K., Nelson, L., Niazi, H., Shereda, A., Beck, A., Griffin, R., and Matson, P.
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...
