Energy-Water System Resilience to Flooding

This white paper addresses the resilience challenges and opportunities within interdependent energy-water systems, particularly under the stress of flooding events. It describes how large-scale flood events impact these systems, posing risks such as operational constraints, infras...

Supporting adoption of advanced forecast informed reservoir operations tools to improve agricultural and municipal water and energy outcomes

Expanding the use of advanced forecast-informed reservoir operations tools can optimize or improve water delivery and storage for energy generation, irrigation, and municipal uses. Advanced forecast-informed data and tools are increasingly being integrated into large-scale reservo...

Quantifying compound hazard risk to energy and water systems

The focal area is identification and quantification of the risk of combined (compound) hazards on water and energy systems and their interactions. The existing challenge is addressing risk and consequences to energy and water systems by compound hazards is an emerging area of stud...

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...
