Chapter 1 -- Dams and energy sectors interdependency study / Tiffany Choi and Elizabeth Hocking -- Chapter 2 -- An analysis of the effects of drought conditions on electric power generation in the western United States / Leslie Poch, Guenter Conzelmann and Tom Veselka -- Chapter 3 -- Energy and water sector policy strategies for drought mitigation / Andjelka Kelic, Verne Loose, Vanessa Vargas and Eric Vugrin -- Chapter 4 -- Drought in the United States: causes and issues for Congress / Peter Folger, Betsy A. Cody and Nicole T. Carter -- Index.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) collaborated to examine the interdependencies between two critical infrastructure sectors - dams and energy. This book highlights the importance of hydroelectric power generation, with a particular emphasis on the variability of weather patterns and competing demands for water which determine the water available for hydropower production. In recent years, various regions of the Nation suffered drought, impacting stakeholders in both the dams and energy sectors. Droughts have the potential to affect the opera.
