Overview

For the past century, America has invested significant research, development and construction funding to develop both fresh surface-water and groundwater resources. The result is a water infrastructure that allows us to harness the vast resources of the country's rivers and waterbeds, control floods and store water during droughts to provide reliable supplies of freshwater for agricultural, industrial, domestic and energy uses. This book presents background information on the connections between energy and water, identifies concerns regarding water demands of energy production, and discusses the science and technologies to address water use and management in the context of energy production and use.
