Energy/Water/Food Nexus
• Water required to produce energy High withdrawals, limited consumption
• Energy required to treat, transport water We don’t pay for water, we pay to move it around
Advanced treatment largely defined by energy requirements
Substantial energy demand to heat water
• Water/Energy required to produce food Irrigation central to increased agricultural productivity

The Water / Energy NexusURGENCY

Water use and availability will limit our energy
choices without substantial efficiency
improvements.

Water Requirements for Biofuel
(Source: Service, 2009, Sci.)
It takes an average of 2,500 liters of water to produce 1 liter of liquid biofuel
Water consumption for energy production in the US will jump two thirds between 2005 and 2030,and about half of the increase is due to growing biofuels (Service, 2000)
Replacing 10% of global energy consumption with 1st generation biofuel would double agricultural water withdrawals in the world (Source: The World Economic Forum: Water Initiative)
Bioenergy is the biggest water consumercompared to other energies

Water for Production
1 apple 700 liters
1 cup of coffee 1120 liters
1 kg chicken 3500 – 5700 liters
1 kg beef15,000 – 17,000 liters
= 21-100 apples

Product Value /Water ConsumedAgriculture
– 57-113 $/acre-ft marginal value (Michelsen, 2014)– Total Value/Total Water -$2,000/acre-ft (King, 2014)
Power Generation – $20,000-40,000/acre-ft (King, 2014)
Hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas– $115,000 / acre-ft (Michelsen, 2014)
Of course, its hard to eat oil and gas…but we don’t have to grow water intensive crops
in water-stressed areas either

Agricultural Irrigation Conservation
Approaches
– Appropriate crop selection
– Efficient hybrids
– Efficient Irrigation Systems• Drip irrigation
– Efficient scheduling• Canopy Temperature Control
• Satellite Soil Moisture Sensing
– Target ~80% of crop evapotranspiration needs

Water Demand Hydraulic Fracturing
• 3-10 MM gal (11-44 MM L) per well
• 1000 gal (3700L) /lateral ft of horizontal well
• Enormous growth in last 5 years (2-4 times more water) Less than 1% of total water use in TX
But…new consumer in time of drought!
Nicot and Scanlan, 2012Expected to peak at 125,000 Acre-ft/yr
Similar to evaporation from Highland Lakes

What are our Alternatives to Freshwater for Hydraulic Fracturing?
• Reuse Flowback and Produced Water
• Reuse Municipal Effluents Treated wastewater
RO reject water
• Employ brackish waters
• Disincentives common to each of these Transportation to point of use
Appropriate chemistry (precipitation and fouling, corrosion)
Treatment to achieve appropriate chemistry
