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 ...

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.
Standardized Siting and Risk Analysis Decision Support Mechanisms for Water-Intensive Industries
This paper focuses on water for cooling industrial energy generation loads and energy and water for cooling large process loads. A challenge is that siting any large facility with substantial water demands without understanding baseline conditions and assessing potential multi-sec...
Fuchs, H., Karki, U., Stokes-Draut, J., Rao, P., Varadharajan, C., Hodson, A., Ajami, N., and Shehabi, A.
Hybrid Additive Manufacturing and Overmolding of Polymer/Metal Lattices for Efficient Cooling Systems for Waterpower Applications
This proposal addresses the Water for Energy challenge by developing advanced hybrid thermal management structures that can reduce water consumption by 15-25% in cooling processes for power generation, energy storage, and power electronics. Further reductions are possible through ...

A Framework for Improving Locational Marginal Price Estimates for Technoeconomic Analysis of Hydropower Investments and Operational Decisions
The focus is on improving the analytics supporting hydropower investment decisions through the more accurate characterization of the locational marginal prices (LMPs) that will define future energy payments. Enhanced analytics around LMP prediction could also be used to improve op...

Energy-Water System Resilience to Flooding
This white paper addresses the resilience challenges and opportunities within interdependent energy-water systems, particularly under the stress of flooding events. It describes how large-scale flood events impact these systems, posing risks such as operational constraints, infras...

Building Resilient Energy-Water Systems: Integrated Modeling, Scenario Selection, and Near-Term Decision Support
U.S. energy and water systems are increasingly interdependent, often leading to cascading and compounding system failures when faced with acute and chronic hazards. Such stressors propagate across multiple spatial scales, typically starting with changing earth system dynamics (for...
Rodriguez, L., Szinai, J., Stokes-Draut, J., Dwivedi, D., Ulrich, C., Holm, J., and Vahmani, P.
Enabling Energy-Water Resilience Through Testbeds for Scalable Atmospheric Water Harvesting Across Domestic, Building, and Manufacturing Applications
This white paper outlines a coordinated testbed and modeling framework to evaluate atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) as an energy?water resilience strategy across domestic, building, and manufacturing applications. By benchmarking real-world AWH performance against thermodynamic ...

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...
Rawlings, E., Klise, K., and Gunter, D.
Joint modeling of water and energy for resilience and flexibility
The white paper focuses on the intersection of energy and potable water systems through joint modeling to enhance resilience, flexibility, and operational efficiency. The paper identifies the lack of integrated modeling tools as the primary obstacle in managing interconnected wate...
