Water and energy are inextricably linked. Because thermoelectric generation and fossil fuel extraction can impact water resources, it is critically important to protect U.S. water supplies while providing the energy needed to power the nation into the 21st century. Through integrated water and energy-related activities, the Department of Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE/NETL) Water-Energy Interface is responding to this challenge through the development and application of advanced technologies and supporting science. |
