Water System Modernization using Advanced and Resilient Technologies (WaterSMART)
This white paper presents a comprehensive vision for modernizing U.S. water and water-energy infrastructure through advanced, resilient, and energy-integrated technologies. It highlights the pressing challenges posed by aging treatment plants, distribution systems, and stormwater ...
DeNeale, S., Chavez, L., and Chu, A.
Thermoelectric and Hydropower Drought Monitor and Outlook: Tools for more robust resource adequacy planning and management
The primary focus is on issues related to water for energy; specifically, how drought-impacted water supply limits the generation potential of hydropower and thermoelectric assets.
Existing Challenge: Twenty-two droughts, each causing a billion dollars or more in damages have im...
Voisin, N., Tidwell, V., and Gerlich, J.
High-Rate Manufacturing of Corrosion Resistant Composite Piping for Water-Energy Infrastructure Resilience
The work focuses on rapid and cost-efficient manufacturing of composite piping for hydropower, waste-water infrastructure and data center thermal management offering extended service life and minimal inspection-maintenance requirement under corrosive and high temperature environme...
Saha, S., Kim, P., Kumar, V., Spencer, R., and Hassen, A.
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...

Integrated Water-Energy Management for Mining
This white paper focuses on the intersection of energy-water with the mining sector.
The challenges include that mining is a water and energy intensive industry, mining can impact surface water and groundwater, limited water quality sampling occurs at mine sites, and there are o...
Greco, T., King, J., Struck, S., Bell, B., Wiltse, N., Hoffman, J., Taguta, J., Cai, M., GreenNRRI, M., Post, S., and Paliewicz, C.
Operational Flexibility for Integrated Energy-Water Resilience
This white paper focuses on advancing operational flexibility as a pathway to integrated energy-water resilience. It addresses the persistent fragmentation between water and energy systems, where separate regulatory, operational, and investment frameworks limit co-optimization and...
Jackson, N., and Rao, N.
Wave Energy Conversion for Powering Aquaculture
This white paper explores the integration of wave energy converters (WECs) with aquaculture systems, aiming to enhance energy-water resilience and local food security. The focal area is the intersection of energy and water, addressing significant challenges such as reliance on fos...
