1 The First Western Forum on Energy & Water Sustainability UCTV 4399-A through 4399-L There is emerging interest at the national level with regards to the linkages between energy and water, and approaches for ensuring sustainability, even in the face of increasing population, climatic variability, land use change and other potential stressors on water and energy supplies. These issues are even more pressing in the western USA, where water supplies may become a limiting factor for growth, and energy supplies that depend on water may not be able to meet peak demand under certain conditions. The First Western Forum on Energy & Water Sustainability brought together policymakers, researchers, energy and water utilities, as well as other important stakeholders, to discuss these issues along technical, economic, social and political dimensions. The presentations and discussions were divided into the following areas: (1) Looking into the future: population projections, short and long-term energy & water demand projections, climate change scenarios for the western US; (2) Identifying "hotspots": Where are the regions within the western US that have high water or energy demand, or that are particularly at risk from major changes in water availability or energy supply during peak demand periods or a crisis? What are the constraints? Interregional dependencies? (3) Technological solutions to increase water use efficiency: state of the art solutions that can be implemented today, or in the near or long-term provided there are breakthroughs in technology or policies that support their development; (4) Technological solutions to increase energy use efficiency; and (5) Energy or water implications of proposed solutions. Policy solutions: How can policy instruments improve the planning effort and/or accelerate the development and implementation of solutions? Which policy instruments can provide win-win solutions? How can the efforts of energy and water planners/policy makers be coordinated? How best can we plan at a regional level, across state boundaries? UCTV 4399-A [First Western Forum on Energy & Water Sustainability] Session 1: Looking Into the Future Program 1 John Geeseman Mary Heim Gary Matteson Keynote speaker, Commissioner John Geesman (CA Energy Comm.), discusses Water Availability and Power Plant Siting in California; Mary Heim, Calif.
