A great group of WSU faculty and staff met today to discuss strategies to address challenges in Food, Energy, and Water. While not everyone who was interested could attend here is a list of those that did, and those that have engaged in this discussion. Scientists and\u00a0engineers from multiple disciplines are interested in this area, and all have something to contribute to the solution.<\/p>\n

This track focuses on the conceptualization of FEW linkages through their natural cycles to assess, and likely increase, storage capacity across the FEW system, likely through modeling. Outcomes can include identifying exiting management and physical constraints that are limiting the potential for sustainable resource use, as well as the potential for new policies and technologies to enhance natural system resilience.<\/p>\n Track 2:<\/u>\u00a0Greater Local\/Regional Case Study<\/p>\n Select a case study (greater Pullman, the Palouse, and Columbia River Basin were discussed) to quantify and define the linkages between FEW components, including assessing unintended consequences of optimizing across a connected FEW system. The goal with this track is to identify existing technologies (or technological gaps) that have traditionally existed within individual industries, but that could be connected across sectors to actually allow for a system to be managed by linking FEW cycles.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A great group of WSU faculty and staff met today to discuss strategies to address challenges in Food, Energy, and Water.
