Advancing Energy-Water Resilience through Integrated Science and Technology for Natural Infrastructure Management
This white paper focuses on water for energy.
The challenge is that ecosystems are under increasing stress from rising temperatures, prolonged drought, and intensifying disturbances like wildfire, insects, and land-use change, which can impact the hydrologic capacity of watershed...
Dickman, L., Atchley, A., Giovando, J., Fluet-Chouinard, E., Xu, C., and McPherson, T.
Integrated Energy-Water Data for Cross-Sector Resilience
Disjointed management of water and energy systems has created systemic vulnerabilities in the United States, particularly as aging infrastructure, population and industrial growth, and severe weather events strain both sectors. High-quality, standardized datasets like those provid...

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...

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,...

Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Water Sources and Impacts on Water and Wastewater Treatment
This white paper examines the critical issue of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in water systems, emphasizing the need for advanced water reuse and reclamation technologies to mitigate water scarcity, particularly in arid and remote regions. These contaminants, which inclu...

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...

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.
Natural Materials as a Pathway to Affordable and Scalable Membrane Separation Technologies
This white paper focuses on developing affordable and scalable membrane separation technologies derived from natural materials for selective extraction of critical minerals (CMs), such as lithium, manganese, and barium, from geothermal brines. This approach integrates with geother...
