Water and Energy (The water-energy nexus) ENGR 10 Developed by Juneseok Lee & Thalia Anagnos http://www.aguntherphotography.com/usa_west/grand_canyon/photos/photo_2.html

Water is essential to all of us! Human health and socioeconomic welfare depends on supplying adequate quantity and quality of water. Conversely, too much water results in socioeconomic damages and loss of life due to flooding.

Current Issues and Challenges Rapidly growing population and scarce resources Uncertain impacts of global climate change Increased hydrologic, environmental, and economic constraints on developing additional water supplies

16
Demand increases with population - even with our efforts at conservation U.S. public supply withdrawals (source: http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/wups.html)

Current Issues and Challenges Rapidly growing population and scarce resources Uncertain impacts of global climate change Increased hydrologic, environmental, and economic constraints on developing additional water supplies
19
1)use of renewable water 2)sustainable groundwater use 3)susceptibility to drought 4) growth in water demand 5)future increased need for water storage http://www.nrdc.org/globalWarming/watersustainability/
21
Climate change affects the watershed (e.g. Sierra Nevada watershed) Future projections indicate a strong likelihood of a warmer future climate in Sierra Nevada. – More winter precipitation will fall as rain rather than snow – Shorter seasons of snow accumulation at a given elevation; – Less snowpack accumulation as compared to the present
22
Percentage Remaining, Relative to 1961-1990 Currently the Sierra Nevada provides over 65% of California's water supply Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, 2004

Current Issues and Challenges Rapidly growing population and scarce resources Uncertain impacts of global climate change; Increased hydrologic, environmental, and economic constraints on developing additional water supplies
24
By 2025, more than 2.8 billion people will live in 48 countries facing water stress or water scarcity
25
The situation will continue to worsen
26
Urbanization – Impact on Water Resources Transformation of undeveloped land into urban land (including transportation corridors) Increased energy release (i.e. greenhouse gases, waste heat, heated surface runoff) Increased demand on water supply (municipal and industrial)
27
Water Resources Sustainability The ability to use water in sufficient quantities and quality from the local to the global scale to meet the needs of humans and ecosystems for the present and the future to sustain life, and to protect humans from the damages brought about by natural and human-caused disasters that affect sustaining life. (Larry W. Mays, Water Resources Engineering, 2009)
28
A Measure of Water Sustainability Water footprint Water required to sustain a population Virtual Water Volume of water required to produce a commodity or service
29
Our Water Footprint Sufficient > 1700 m 3 per year Water stress 1000 - 1700 m 3 Scarcity 500 - 1000 m 3 Extreme scarcity < 500 m 3
30
Annual per capita water needs for food to cover 2500 kcal a day 20% meat: theoretical 680 m 3 actual 1200 - 1500 m 3 Vegetarian: theoretical 250 m 3 actual 500 - 1000 m 3 From Zehnder et al. 2003
32
Contribution of different crops global water footprint (Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2007) VWC = 1334m 3 /ton VWC = 2291m 3 /ton Question: Why are we growing rice in California?
33
Average National Water Footprint Per Capita (m 3 /capita/yr) Green = smaller than global average Red = above global average
34
High Water Footprint United States – Large meat consumption – High consumption of industrial products Iran – Low crop production yields – High evapotranspiration
35
Water footprint of the US, 1997-2001 (Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2007) From imported goods
36
Global Transport of Virtual Water The U.S. is a net exporter From Yang et al. 2006

Supplying energy is water intensive Santa Clara Valley Water District, From Watts to Water, 2010 Mining fuels Refining fuels Farming (for biofuels) Transporting fuels Cooling in power plants Producing wind & solar devices

Water consumption varies with different fuels and cooling technologies Santa Clara Valley Water District, From Watts to Water, 2010
43
Role of Hydropower Hydroelectric power production is the most obvious use of water for the production of energy. The energy in falling water is used directly to turn turbines that generate electricity.
44
Components of Hydroelectric Plants Dam has two major functions of i)creating the head (pressure) necessary to move the turbines and ii)impounding the storage used to maintain the necessary flow release pattern.
46
Electric Generator An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by a motor; motors and generators have many similarities. The source of mechanical energy may be a reciprocating or turbine steam engine, water falling through a turbine or waterwheel, an internal combustion engine, a wind turbine, a hand crank, compressed air or any other source of mechanical energy (all info from Wikipedia).
48
Energy relations in a typical hydroelectric plant Two types of turbines (1)Impulse turbines (or Pelton Wheel), a free jet of water impinges on a revolving element of the machine that is exposed to the atmosphere (2) Reaction turbines, the flow takes place under pressure in a closed chamber

Water- Energy Laboratory Activities
52
Pipes in parallel produce good results (higher power)
53
Phase II of the experiment (student designed activities) Students will set up the experiment with given conditions. Objective – Max { Power Output} Constraints – water volume (drought issues) Students can collaborate among teams to use turbines in series & pipes in parallel
