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.
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)....

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...

Advancing Energy-Water Resilience in Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories
Challenges facing Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories for both "energy for water" and "water for energy" are distinctive from the contiguous U.S. In this whitepaper, we discuss opportunities for new hydropower development and non-traditional water-energy linkages in these regions...
