Managing Systemic Interdependence within Energy-Water-Transportation Systems

This white paper discusses the complex interdependence between energy, water, and transportation (EWT) systems, which underpins critical infrastructure and supply chains. Failures in any of these systems can cause cascading disruptions across the others due to their tight integrat...
