| Description: | Power production and land-use change have individual and cross-linked impacts on water resources. Impacts of land-use change can be expressed directly and indirectly (by changing regional climate through evapotranspiration feedbacks, for example), while electrical-power generation and liquid-fuels refining require large supplies of water. Energy and land-use demands create linked impacts by way of biofuel production and climatic effects, for example. For this session we seek contributions that address the impacts of energy production and large scale land-use change on water resources, with respect to quantity and quality. Studies from a range of settings in which impacts past, present, or future are solicited. We especially encourage papers emphasizing sustainability. Solicited papers will apply a variety of approaches for quantifying the direct and linked effects of power production and land-use change, including field experiments, remote-sensing studies, time-series analyses, and numerical modeling. |
