Advancing Industrial Sector Water Management for Energy Recovery in Water Supply, In-Process, and Discharge Systems
This paper addresses both water-for-energy and energy-for-water by integrating hydropower generation to improve industrial water system resilience. Conduit hydropower is produced by capturing flowing water under pressure in closed-pipe systems and converting the energy into usable...
Bhandari, I., Billings, B., DeNeale, S., Chu, A., and Meira, K.
Reinforcement Learning for Water-Energy Infrastructure Resilience and Evolution
This white paper outlines a foundational AI-based framework for improving resilience across the energy-water nexus, with a focus on electric grid and water system interdependencies under hydrologic and weather extremes. The focal area spans both "water for energy" and "energy for ...
Jackson, N., and Rao, N.
Semiconductor Industry Waste Valorization for Recovery of Gallium
This white paper discusses the critical intersection of energy and water resilience, focusing on advancing water reuse and reclamation technologies to address water scarcity, particularly in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. The paper emphasizes the importance of recoverin...

A National Framework for Water-Informed Geothermal Expansion and Energy-Water Resilience
This white paper outlines the need for a coordinated, national framework to guide geothermal energy expansion in ways that use water efficiently and strengthen energy-water resilience. It highlights the opportunity to connect national-to-regional modeling with site-scale analysis,...
Wild, T., Niazi, H., DiRaddo, S., Villante, M., Goecker, A., and Chowdhury, K.
Quantifying Energy Use across U.S. Water Sectors: A Scalable AI/ML-Driven Framework for Data Integration and Resilience Planning
This white paper explores opportunities to quantify and characterize energy use across major U.S. water sectors, including irrigation, water supply, and water treatment, with a focus on energy for water dimension. A scalable AI/ML-driven framework will be developed to harmonize fr...
Ghimire, G., Bhanja, S., and Martinez, R.
State-of-the-Art MABR Technology for Energy-Efficient, Compact and Low N2O Emission Wastewater Solutions
The focal area of this white paper is advancing energy water resilience in wastewater treatment through the deployment of Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) technology.
The proposed effort advances MABR technology as a treatment intensification solution to address energy inef...

Accounting for Water-Energy Co-Benefits of Floating Photovoltaics (FPV)
Floating photovoltaic projects, as well as those that span over waterways (i.e. canopy), present potential technological and economic advantages over ground-mounted systems that have fueled rapid global growth in installed capacity in recent years. Aside from expanding generation,...
Fluet-Chouinard, E., Jorgensen, J., Cotter, E., Niazi, H., Wild, T., Chalishazar, V., Pracheil, B., Griffiths, N., Hansen, C., and Chowdhury, K.
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.
Hardening Forested Watersheds to Wildfire to Enhance Downstream Water Quality for Critical Energy Infrastructure
This white paper focuses on water-for-energy stability, emphasizing the risks to energy infrastructure from water quality impacts due to severely burned forested watersheds. The primary challenge is that energy production in the U.S. is vulnerable to surface water quality, with hi...
