研究工作将集中在界面处出现的 能源和水资源规划之间的关系，以及水系统 可靠性 对于第一个关注的领域，数学程序将 开发用于分析传统和新能源的供水 使用，修改以模拟不完善的水市场， 环境、制度和政治因素将是 考察 石油和天然气的排放对地下水的污染 天然气卤水也将与风险效益分析一起研究， 替代处置方法。 城市供水的可靠性 将进行检查，考虑到设备的可能性 故障、污染事件、需求的意外变化等。 基于失载期望和频率持续时间的技术 电力行业使用的方法将适应 供水案例

Research efforts will concentrate on that arise at the interface between energy and water resources planning, and on water system reliability. For the first area of concern, mathematical programs will be developed to analyze water supply for traditional and new energy uses, with modifications to simulate imperfect water markets in which environmental, institutional, and political considerations will be examined. The contamination of groundwater by the disposal of oil and gas brines will also be studied together with risk-benefit analysis of alternative disposal methods. The reliability of urban water supply will be examined, taking into account the probability of equipment failure, incidents of contamination, unexpected changes in demand, etc. The techniques based on loss-of-load expectation and frequency-duration methods used by the electric utility industry will be adapted to the water supply case.
