💧 Costs, emissions, and water age are reduced for complex water distribution systems using a unified multi-objective optimization framework
💡Increased water storage utilization allows for reductions in electricity costs and emissions but with tradeoffs in water quality

Our latest paper from Erin Musabandesu, "Optimizing Distribution Controls for Safe, Affordable, Low‐Carbon Water Supply", is out in @agu.org Water Resources Research!

This work enables utilities to test operational or system changes with less computational resources in more dynamic use cases.

Apply for the @stanfordenergy.bsky.social Postdoctoral Fellowship! The WE3 Lab is interested in supporting a #postdoc working on energy-flexible operation and
#decarbonization of water systems, chemical separations, data centers, and more.

10 WE3 lab students stand in front of shipping container with the words "Direct Potable Reuse Mobile Demonstration" printed on the side alongside images of the Colorado wilderness.

We had a great time seeing the ‪‪@coschoolofmines.bsky.social‬ Direct Potable Reuse trailer while it's stationed locally in Redwood City! We're excited to collaborate with Prof. Cath's and Prof Fierro's team at Mines on software to better represent pilot and full-scale treatment system data.

Caroline Adkins gave a great talk at #AEESP Research and Education Conference on her research screening alternative water sources in the US with public datasets and techno-economic analysis. We look forward to sharing more about SAWS in the coming months!

🍇 Increasing four crops to peak Crop Water Productivity efficiency could meet up to 36% of the estimated annual groundwater overdraft in San Joaquin Valley.
🎯 Targeting investments to the least efficient fields identified via satellite data could amplify the potential water savings of state grants.

Corisa uses public satellite data to estimate potential water savings, which can be used to inform targeted interventions by irrigation district managers and efficient allocation of state incentives for improved crop water management.

Empowering Women through Water: The Role of Collective Action in Breaking the Cycle of Water Insecurity - CEO Water Mandate By: Sarah Dobsevage, WaterAid America | André Villaça Ramalho, Water Resilience Coalition  As we celebrate women’s achievements on International Women’s

On this International Women’s Day, we celebrate the incredible strength, resilience, and leadership of women across the globe.

In this blog, we explore how collective action in water stewardship can empower women, improve health, and strengthen communities. ceowatermandate.org/posts/empowe...

We use FDA to estimate planting dates in the U.S. corn belt - reducing prediction error by 20% and improving curve-fitting vs univariate inputs. We relate FDA coefficients to physical mechanisms indicative of planting time (vegetation density, land surface temp, soil moisture) (2/2)

Fisher Discriminant Analysis for Extracting Interpretable Phenological Information From Multivariate Time Series Data This article explores the use of Fisher discriminant analysis (FDA) as a method for extracting time-resolved information from multivariate environmental time series data. FDA is useful because it can ...
