Increasing Robustness and Resilience of Water Delivery Infrastructure
This white paper outlines the need for a national testing capability for water treatment and delivery infrastructure to enhance energy-water resilience (EWR) and address existing knowledge and technology gaps. The vulnerability of water systems to contamination, physical compromis...
Reese, S., Gagnon, O., and Otto, M.
Energy-Enabled Decentralized Treatment of Brackish Water Sources for Agricultural Irrigation
This white paper, Energy-Enabled Decentralized Treatment of Brackish Water Sources for Agricultural Irrigation, focuses on the energy-for-water nexus and explores how decentralized, low-energy treatment systems can enable the on-site reuse of brackish groundwater for agriculture. ...
