The Energy/Water Nexus

Wednesday, January 26 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

The generation and production of electricity and liquid fuels requires substantial amounts of water. In addition to considerations about water quantity, is water quality affected in the process of meeting society’s increasing energy requirements? Plan to participate in this important discussion on the relationship of energy and water.
