DESCRIPTION:Water and Energy Interdependencies in the United States\n\nwith
  Kelsey Semrod\, senior water resources scientist\, Pacific Northwest Nati
 onal Laboratory and Hassan Niazi\, integrated human-Earth systems research
 er\, Joint Global Change Research Institute\n\nDate/Time: Tuesday\, Januar
 y 27\, 1 pm - 2 pm Pacific Time\n\nAbstract:\n\nEnergy and water systems a
 re deeply interconnected\, leading to complex interdependencies that chang
 e in magnitude with changing natural\, socioeconomic\, and policy landscap
 es. Energy systems rely on water directly\, for activities like cooling po
 wer plants or as a “feedstock” for hydropower and electrolysis\, and i
 ndirectly\, for mining primary fuels or cultivating biomass. Similarly\, w
 ater systems require energy for a range of applications\, such as groundwa
 ter extraction\, reservoir operations\, and water conveyance and treatment
 . Co- management of these interdependent and often competing energy and wa
 ter flows is crucial for understanding the complexities of both systems an
 d ensuring resilience.\n\nSpeaker(s): Kelsey Semrod\, Hassan Niazi\, \n\nA
