3rd International Congress on Sustainability Science & Engineering

Solutions at the Energy-Water Nexus

Author

Michael Webber - Presenter, University of Texas at Austin

The interdependency of energy and water introduces cross-sectoral vulnerabilities whereby water constraints can become energy constraints and vice versa. However, it is also true that this relationship introduces the possibility for cross-cutting solutions that can be achieved by integration. This talk will identify opportunities to use the water sector to solve energy problems and the energy sector to solve water problems.
