Resilient Energy, Water and Infrastructure

Water-Energy

The hydrologic cycle (California Department of Water Resources).

Develop approaches for sustainable groundwater management and identification of new water resources including groundwater storage opportunities while reducing associated cost and energy demands and insuring water quality. Anticipate, assess, manage, and mitigate potential impacts of emerging energy technologies on water systems and quality.

Highlights

Project

Integrated Risk Management and Decision Support System (IRMDSS)

Underground natural gas storage (UGS) in California serves winter heating and summer cooling demands, and there is no immediate alternative to meeting California’s demand for natural gas during peak periods in winter (e.g. CCST report, 2018). Therefore it is critically  important to ensure the safety and integrity of UGS infrastructure, especially considering that many of…
