Water and Energy Interdependencies in the United Stateswith Kelsey Semrod, senior water resources scientist, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Hassan Niazi, integrated human-Earth systems researcher, Joint Global Change Research InstituteDate/Time: Tuesday, January 27, 1 pm - 2 pm Pacific TimeAbstract:Energy and water systems are deeply interconnected, leading to complex interdependencies that change in magnitude with changing natural, socioeconomic, and policy landscapes. Energy systems rely on water directly, for activities like cooling power plants or as a “feedstock” for hydropower and electrolysis, and indirectly, for mining primary fuels or cultivating biomass. Similarly, water systems require energy for a range of applications, such as groundwater extraction, reservoir operations, and water conveyance and treatment. Co- management of these interdependent and often competing energy and water flows is crucial for understanding the complexities of both systems and ensuring <a href="http://resilience.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="resilience.Speaker(s):">resilience.Speaker(s): Kelsey Semrod, Hassan Niazi, Agenda: 01:00 PM Introduction of speakers02:00 PM Adjourn'Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/532645
