Optimizing Hydropower Operations through Basin-Scale Coordination for Energy-Water Resilience
This white paper aligns with the Water for Energy focal area and advances energy-water resilience through basin-scale coordination of hydropower operations. It outlines a transition from top-down management approaches to bottom-up, stakeholder-driven approach to improve hydropower...

Dynamic Population Mapping to Advance Energy-Water Resilience
Dynamic population mapping, combined with household-level energy and water demand profiling, enables precise, actionable forecasting and resilience planning for U.S. energy-water systems under variable population and climate conditions.
Energy and water systems face growing stres...

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.
Integrated Water-Energy-Economics Framework for Public Water System Resilience
This paper highlights key energy-for-water challenges in U.S. public water systems (PWS): aging infrastructure, cost recovery gaps, hydrologic vulnerabilities, and high-demand users like data centers--which concentrate near population centers and existing PWS. It underscores the n...

Water Reuse Energy Demands and Water Quality Metrics
This white paper discusses strategies for enhancing water resilience in energy production by advancing water reuse and reclamation technologies, particularly for thermoelectric power plants and data centers. The focus is on efficiently closing the water loop by processing discharg...

Co-optimization of Energy and Water Demands to Enable Rapid but Resilient Expansion of Data Centers
Data centers consume substantial amounts of electricity and can amplify water stress locally as well as in distant regions via their direct (for cooling) and indirect (for thermoelectric power generation) consumption of water. There is an opportunity to enhance energy-water resili...

Unlocking the energy-water interdependency through bio-augmented treatment of produced water for agricultural re-use and aquifer recharge
The supply and demand for energy and water within the US is increasingly intertwined. Several examples of this include the large volumes of water consumed by hydraulic fracking, the reliance of energy-intensive groundwater pumping in agriculture, and the significant water and powe...

Digital Twin and HIL Framework for Grid-Interactive Microgrids in Non-PRASA Aqueducts: Enhancing Energy-Water Nexus Resilience
This white paper addresses the energy for water focal area by developing and validating grid-interactive microgrids for aqueducts which operate outside the centralized Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (non-PRASA). These aqueducts depend on electricity for pumping and treat...
Plaza, J., and Andrade, F.
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 ...

Water-Energy-Economics: Leveraging Market Instruments for Building Resilience
Energy and water systems exist in an economic context that shapes their supply and use, which in turn shapes the macroeconomics of the country. A holistic energy-water-economics view is needed that links physical resource constraints, sectoral interdependencies, policy and managem...
