Issues
• Fast growing demand for clean, fresh water
• All regions of US vulnerable to water shortages
• Environmental protection and enhancement
• Dependency of electricity supply and demand on water availability
• Curtailed future growth of electricity demand
• Shortages of current electricity supply
• Electricity grid topology • Societal and economic
sustainability

Objectives
• Mitigate limitations on economic development and electricity supply & demand caused by water supply/treatment restrictions
• While enhancing and protecting water resource environmental values
• Using EPRI water resource management tools and technology
