“Our mission is to research, develop and disseminate efficient technologies and system-based policies for the integrated conservation of water and energy resources.” Background Around the world, water and energy resource systems are increasingly stressed by expanding demand, diminished supply, and environmental degradation that all occur within the broader context of complex economic and regulatory challenges. Historically, public policy and business practice have treated water and energy as separate resource entities, but they are inexorably linked. The infrastructure systems that deliver and treat water and the supply lines for producing and distributing energy resources (both electricity and fuels) are intertwined and interdependent. Unfortunately our ability to measure, monitor and control the coupled water-energy system is underdeveloped. The Center for Water-Energy Efficiency (CWEE) at UC Davis seeks to address this gap in coordinated water-energy resource management. |
