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

社科与自然科学研究团队将开发一款前沿多学科模型，该模型可联结自然系统与人类系统，旨在更好地理解在兼顾社会经济、环境与用水可持续性潜力的前提下，不同能源与经济发展选择之间存在的权衡取舍关系。
新墨西哥州的能源产业对本州经济发展至关重要，但其发展却受到环境影响与水资源的双重约束。当前亟需功能强大的集成建模工具，以结合水资源、环境与社会经济因素，评估能源开发的可行性与发展潜力。
