Integrated Planning for Resilient Energy-, Infrastructure-, and Hydro-Scapes
The focus of this paper is nationally-comprehensive, hyper-granular assessment of future energy expansion opportunities and challenges, considering multi-dimensional risks and consequent implications of large infrastructure additions on surface water and groundwater, spanning from...
McCollum, D., Rathore, S., Liu, Y., and Parish, E.
Semi-Autonomous Facility Emergency Response (SAFER) for Energy-Water Resilience
The focal area of this whitepaper is enhancing cyber security for integrated energy-water systems. The near-term opportunity is to provide a decision support system (controller) to assist the hydroelectric plant operators during communications outages or during a cyber event (cybe...

Opportunities for Water-Scarce, Water-Volatile Irrigated Agriculture Land for Energy-Crop Production
This white paper examines the historical and current challenges of water management in the Western U.S., particularly in relation to irrigation infrastructure, agricultural productivity, and energy use. The paper emphasizes the potential of biomass and bioeconomy initiatives as a ...
Hartley, D., and Langholtz, M.
Harnessing water system flexibility for grid resilience
With new critical infrastructure that require uninterrupted power supplies (such as data centers that support the AI boom) and a rising share of intermittent generation sources on the grid, there is a growing need for flexibility in grid resources which can ramp up or down quickly...

Aquifer Storage as a Core Strategy for Energy-Water Resilience: Near and Long-Term Development Across U.S. Regions
This research area primarily addresses the "Energy for Water" focus area. Depleted aquifers pose serious economic liabilities if left as is, however, they are a core asset for long term water storage throughout the US. Current efforts to store surface water, while successful are s...
Ulrich, C., Nico, P., Arora, B., Zhang, Y., Singhal, A., Robinson, G., and Stokes-Draut, J.
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...
Shurtliff, M., and Reese, S.
Quantifying compound hazard risk to energy and water systems
The focal area is identification and quantification of the risk of combined (compound) hazards on water and energy systems and their interactions. The existing challenge is addressing risk and consequences to energy and water systems by compound hazards is an emerging area of stud...
Giovando, J., Chen, T., Fang, Y., Feng, S., McPherson, T., Regier, P., and Wang, T.
Water Treatment and Valorization of Mine Byproducts in the Western US
This white paper highlights the critical role of water management in the mining and mineral processing sectors, particularly concerning the reclamation and treatment of water used in extracting essential materials for next-generation energy technologies and national security syste...
Wilson, A.
Wave Energy for Resilient Water Supply in Coastal Communities
This white paper examines the use of wave energy for desalination in coastal communities, focusing on enhancing resilience by providing a sustainable source of drinking water during disruptions (intersection of energy and water). Coastal areas, particularly remote ones, face signi...

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 ...
