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社会与自然科学团队将开发一款前沿跨学科模型，用于连接自然系统与人类系统，以便更好地理解不同能源与经济发展选择之间存在的权衡取舍，同时考量可持续社会经济、环境与水资源利用的发展潜力。 新墨西哥州的能源产业对当地经济至关重要，但其发展受到环境影响与水资源的制约。亟需功能强大的一体化建模工具，结合水资源、环境与社会经济因素，对能源开发与资源可行性进行评估。
