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...
Hansen, C., Acharya, M., Ashraf, F., Atkinson, T., Chu, A., and Calderon, J.
Material Science Driven Water Technology Innovation
The white paper explores multiple Energy-Water Resilience (EWR) topics, including water for energy, energy for water, and their intersections. It proposes low-cost, scalable water-based material processes to advance water technologies through materials innovation. The existing cha...

Integrated Water-Energy Management for Mining
This white paper focuses on the intersection of energy-water with the mining sector.
The challenges include that mining is a water and energy intensive industry, mining can impact surface water and groundwater, limited water quality sampling occurs at mine sites, and there are o...
Greco, T., King, J., Struck, S., Bell, B., Wiltse, N., Hoffman, J., Taguta, J., Cai, M., GreenNRRI, M., Post, S., and Paliewicz, C.
Hybrid Bioenergy and Hydropower Systems: Leveraging Heterogeneous Biomass and Wastes from Watersheds
Sandia National Laboratories and Idaho National Laboratory (INL) explore the water-for-energy nexus in this white paper, focusing on the impact of heterogeneous watershed waste materials on hydropower facilities. They identify key challenges--such as pile burning, wildfires, and d...

Aligning Energy, Water, and Agriculture: Near-Term Strategies for Resilience in Water-Stressed Regions
This white paper explores the intersection of energy, water, and agriculture, emphasizing the growing competition for water between irrigation and energy systems. It identifies near-term opportunities to enhance agricultural water management and electrification, while evaluating t...
Pacheco, C., and Mekonnen, M.
Unlocking the energy-water interdependency through bio-augmented treatment of produced water for agricultural re-use and aquifer recharge
The supply and demand for energy and water within the US is increasingly intertwined. Several examples of this include the large volumes of water consumed by hydraulic fracking, the reliance of energy-intensive groundwater pumping in agriculture, and the significant water and powe...

Monitoring, Planning, and Management of Water Quality and Quantity for Resilient Water and Energy Systems
Both resilient systems where water is used for energy production and energy is used for treatment and operation depend not only on the quantity of water, but also quality and environmental health. Addressing gaps in environmental health and infrastructure condition/capability data...
Hansen, C., DeRolph, C., Allen-Dumas, M., Griffiths, N., Matson, P., Pilla, R., Siddik, A., Stevenson, L., and Johnson, R.
Advancing Energy-Water Resilience in California: A Framework for Integrated Water and Power Management Opportunities
This white paper identifies opportunities to advance energy-water resilience in California, using the Central Valley Project (CVP) and State Water Project (SWP) system. It addresses the critical intersection of both water for energy and energy for water management, emphasizing how...
