Integrated Water Power Resilience Project Website

The motivation of the Integrated Water Power Resilience Project is to identify and develop opportunities to improve resilience in the water and power sectors through coordinated planning, investment, and operations and thereby provide benefits to power and water utilities, consumers, and the environment. The project website provides access to other water and energy research supported under this project as well as previously developed historic Sankey diagrams of water and energy sectors at the aggregate US level and for each major US electricity interconnection.

Integrated MultiSector MultiScale Modeling (IM3) Project Website

The IM3 Project couples open-source, process-based, human and natural system models to project vulnerability and resilience from local to continental scales in the United States to both short- and long-term influences.

FAQ

What is a Sankey Diagram?

Sankey diagrams provide a visual representation of processes and transfers within a given system, shown as proportional flows. The width of given flows in the same units are proportional to the amount of the given unit being transferred.

How do I download the data in the Sankey diagrams?

Data in the Sankey diagrams can be directly downloaded as a csv from the Data page.
