Forecast and Intelligence Enabled Reservoir Operations for Energy-Water Resilience
This white paper discusses the energy-water nexus and emphasizes the need for co-optimization of hydropower, reservoir management, and water supply operations to enhance resilience and reliability. It focuses on integrating water management intelligence with power system forecasti...
Sun, M., and Hansen, C.
Water-Energy Resiliency for Agricultural Systems
This white paper focuses on energy-water implications of agricultural water supply needs and nutrient management.
Challenges include agricultural water use and consumption, energy-water relationships in agriculture, and water quality impacts on drinking water and surface water.

Water-Energy-Economics: Leveraging Market Instruments for Building Resilience
Energy and water systems exist in an economic context that shapes their supply and use, which in turn shapes the macroeconomics of the country. A holistic energy-water-economics view is needed that links physical resource constraints, sectoral interdependencies, policy and managem...
Wilson, K., and Wild, T.
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...
McPherson, T., Giovando, J., Daniel, B., Chatterjee, S., and Chowdhury, P.
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 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...
Dickman, L., Atchley, A., Giovando, J., Fluet-Chouinard, E., Xu, C., and McPherson, T.
Reliable Water Resources for Resilient Next-Generation Geothermal Energy
This white paper focuses on expanding reclaimed wastewater for geothermal water management.
Challenges include rapid growth to 5 GW, rising demand for water in water-scarce regions. High volumes for drilling, stimulation, cooling, and reclaimed water infrastructure limits. High ...
Wu, M.
Enabling Energy-Water Resilience in U.S. Data Centers: Water-Aware Grid Planning and Operations with Infrastructure-Compatible Cooling
Rapid, concentrated expansion of AI data centers is reshaping electricity demand profiles, local infrastructure requirements, and regional resource constraints. These facilities are often sized from tens to hundreds of megawatts with multi-gigawatt campus clusters. They are relati...
Zhou, Z., Wu, M., Qiu, F., Muehleisen, R., Zhao, D., Yan, E., and Worek, W.
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.
Advancing Industrial Sector Water Management for Energy Recovery in Water Supply, In-Process, and Discharge Systems
This paper addresses both water-for-energy and energy-for-water by integrating hydropower generation to improve industrial water system resilience. Conduit hydropower is produced by capturing flowing water under pressure in closed-pipe systems and converting the energy into usable...
