The Water–Energy Nexus: Recent Federal Actions and Their Potential Impacts
In a world of finite resources and increasing demands, there are inevitable constraints that will arise. Resulting difficulties are compounded when multiple resources are interdependent. This scenario is playing out in the realm of the “water‐energy nexus.” The US Government Accounting Office (GAO) has released six reports on this topic in the past four years, and recent legislation has been introduced by the ranking member of the Committee on Science, Space and Technology to allocate federal resources in an effort to understand and tackle the challenges resulting from these constraints. This article explores the issues that have been brought to light by the GAO reports, reviews the intent of the proposed legislation, and concludes with some thoughts on the eventual impacts of this or similar legislation that might arise.
