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研发一款前沿多学科模型，该模型可连接自然系统与人类系统，旨在在考量可持续社会经济、环境及水资源利用潜力的前提下，更清晰地解析不同能源与经济发展选择之间的权衡关系。
新墨西哥州的能源产业对当地经济发展至关重要，却受限于环境影响与水资源供给。当前亟需功能强大的综合建模工具，结合水资源、环境与社会经济要素，对能源开发及资源可行性开展科学评估。
