Adaptive 3D Printed Micro-Hydropower for Resilient Grids: Digital-to-Deployment Framework
We propose to enhance the resilience of the U.S. electricity grid by enabling the rapid, adaptive, and on-demand manufacturing of site-specific micro-to-small hydropower systems for low-head dams. This approach directly addresses the nation's untapped 85,000+ non-powered dams (NPD...

Gaps Between Western U.S. Reservoir Inflows and Headwater Precipitation Timing, Amount, and Phase
Snowmelt from mountain headwater basins supplies approximately 80% of the runoff to reservoirs in the western United States (WUS), and is therefore a key component of western hydropower. Yet predicting runoff from hydrometeorological data in complex terrain (and its sensitivity to...

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...

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...

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 ...

Marine Energy-Seawater Intersection for Hydrogen Production
The focal area is about the energy-water intersections for high-value fuel production. The main challenge is the poor stability of anode in natural seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production, and we propose a fabrication of novel electrode overcome this challenge. The success m...

Sensor Enabled Cured-in-Place (CIPP) Liners: Cutting Leaks Today, Powering Digital Twins and Real-Time Detection for Tomorrow's Resilient Intelligent Water Distribution Systems
Municipal water accounts for roughly 12% of total consumption in the United States (EPA and AWWA averages), yet an estimated 14% of this treated supply is lost through distribution line leaks (AWWA national average). Because municipal water carries significant embedded energy and ...

Energy-Enabled Decentralized Treatment of Brackish Water Sources for Agricultural Irrigation
This white paper, Energy-Enabled Decentralized Treatment of Brackish Water Sources for Agricultural Irrigation, focuses on the energy-for-water nexus and explores how decentralized, low-energy treatment systems can enable the on-site reuse of brackish groundwater for agriculture. ...

A Coupled Energy-Water Storage Architecture for Resilient Urban Power and Water Distribution
This white paper proposes a coupled energy-water storage architecture to enhance the resilience of urban power and water distribution networks. The concept leverages GLIDES concept (Ground-Level Integrated Diverse Energy Storage), which is a pneumo-hydraulic storage technology dev...
