Water Resources Research Institute Model Data Sources, New Mexico PRISM

The social and natural science team will develop a cutting-edge multidisciplinary model that links natural and human systems to better understand the trade-offs that occur between different energy and economic development choices while considering the potential for sustainable socio-economics, environment, and water use.
New Mexico's energy industries are important to the economy, yet are constrained by environmental impacts and water resources. Powerful, integrative modeling tools are needed to evaluate energy development and source viability in light of water, environment, and socioeconomic considerations

本社会与自然科学研究团队将开发一款前沿多学科模型，用以连接自然系统与人类系统，从而在考量可持续社会经济、环境及水资源利用潜力的前提下，更好地理解不同能源与经济发展选择之间存在的权衡关系。
新墨西哥州的能源产业对该州经济至关重要，却受到环境影响与水资源的双重制约。当前亟需强大的集成建模工具，以基于水资源、环境及社会经济因素，评估能源开发与资源的可行性。
