Water-Energy-Carbon Connection: Climate Change Impacts and Water In Energy

This presentation is from the Water-Energy-Carbon Connection workshop held in Baltimore, MD at the 10th National River Rally. This workshop explored key concepts of the water-energy-carbon nexus and what it means for river and watershed groups. Participants learned about the water embedded in different energy sources, the carbon footprint of different water uses, and how to utilize these principles at the community level.

This presentation covers the first half of the workshop and explores the anticipated effects of climate change on our freshwater resources, as well as the freshwater impacts of different energy sources.
