A Multi-Scale Integrated Assessment Model for How Emerging Biotechnologies Can Contribute to Decoupling Energy and Water Systems
Energy-water (EW) systems in the U.S. are deeply interconnected through complex networks vulnerable to disruptions, such as when a regional drought simultaneously impacts hydropower generation, thermoelectric production, and water availability across multiple sectors, producing kn...
Patelli, P., Solander, K., Gonzalez-Esquer, R., Xu, C., Bower, C., Davis, R., Carruthers, J., and Thomas, J.
Advanced Manufacturing of Polymer Composites for Energy-Water Resilience and Infrastructure Modernization
This white paper addresses the intersection of energy and water systems through innovations in advanced polymer composites and convergent manufacturing to enhance national waterpower infrastructure resilience, reduce lifecycle energy and water intensity, and strengthen domestic ma...
Hassen, A.
Water-Energy Resiliency for Agricultural Systems
This white paper focuses on energy-water implications of agricultural water supply needs and nutrient management.
Challenges include agricultural water use and consumption, energy-water relationships in agriculture, and water quality impacts on drinking water and surface water.
