Hardening Forested Watersheds to Wildfire to Enhance Downstream Water Quality for Critical Energy Infrastructure
This white paper focuses on water-for-energy stability, emphasizing the risks to energy infrastructure from water quality impacts due to severely burned forested watersheds. The primary challenge is that energy production in the U.S. is vulnerable to surface water quality, with hi...

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...
Hassen, A.
Multisector Energy-Water Management
This white paper focuses on energy-water supply, storage, transmission, and demand across multiple sectors.
Challenges include separate planning, operation, and management of energy and water; compounding sectors compete for energy and water supplies; increase in risk and uncerta...
Cohen, S., and Boren, B.
Mitigating Wildfire-Driven Hydrological Impacts on Energy Generation
Following a wildfire, increased sedimentation and altered flow regimes can disrupt water quantity and quality for years, impacting water users (e.g., municipal, industrial, agricultural) and undermining energy reliability, efficiency, and infrastructure longevity. Upstream restora...

A Probabilistic Framework for Uncovering Water-Energy Infrastructure Dependencies and Assessing Systemic Consequences
The coupling of water and energy systems is critical for ensuring resilient infrastructure, particularly as water plays an essential role in the safe and reliable operation of energy sources. The dependency on water becomes increasingly complex when energy systems are integrated w...
Yigitoglu, A., Muhlheim, M., Smith, A., Ramuhalli, P., and Berres, A.
Accelerating the Acquisition of Irrigation Modernization Benefits
Accelerating the modernization of off-farm irrigation water delivery infrastructure can hasten the acquisition of many energy-water benefits: water and energy conservation, energy generation and grid reliability, and additional water conservation and increased agricultural yields ...
Jorgensen, J., Saulsbury, B., Cafferty, K., Golden, B., Kueny, K., Hou, H., and Niazi, H.
Water Energy Planning Strategies to meet Emerging Load from Data Centers
This white paper discusses the urgent need for innovative management of energy and water resources in the context of rapidly growing data centers, particularly as U.S. electricity demand is projected to increase by 35 to 40% by 2040 due to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI)....
Bhowmik, P., Cafferty, K., Klise, K., and Jackson, N.
Integrated Water-Energy Resilience Research and Testbeds
Water availability increasingly constrains the reliability and flexibility of water-dependent energy systems, including hydropower, thermoelectric generation, and grid operations. Hydrologic extremes, shifting demand, aging infrastructure, and cross-sector pressures are intensifyi...
