Special Issue Description

Effective management of these resources depends on having a clear understanding of how the energy and water systems interact. Even as droughts and climate change have made concerns regarding reservoir evaporation reactivity more pertinent, improved data availability has made more thorough modeling of hydropower and its water usage possible. This research contributes in three key ways: It provides national and regional estimates of gross evaporation and net evaporation (defined as evaporation less evapotranspiration from local land cover) for U.S. hydroelectricity, making the case that net evaporation is more consistent with other measurements of energy-related water intensity. The approach for estimating system-wide evaporation based on primary purpose allocation is presented and validated, resulting in a two-orders-of-magnitude reduction in the amount of data needed. The whole Penman-Monteith model with numerous integrated sensitivity studies is made available for public use. This model estimates that the U.S. hydropower system uses 1.7 m3 of net freshwater for every GJ of electricity produced.

Manuscript Submission information

Manuscripts should be submitted online via the manuscript Engine. Once you register on APID, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline.
All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the email address:[email protected] for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a Double-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for the submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
