Energy-Water Interdependence Network (EWIN) of Regional Water Supply using Nonconventional Water for Energy-Water Resilience
The focal area of this paper is energy and water interconnection. The challenges faced include the need for extra energy to treat nonconventional water (NCW) and high reginal energy intensity of water supply using NCW. Near-term opportunities are establishing energy-water interdependence network (EWIN) to for water-chain concept and establishing energy intensity database of water supply via high-efficient water technologies testbed guided by regional water-chain network. Success measures would include merging water technology with performance >50% energy saving compared to reverse osmosis for NCW desalination.
