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

社科与自然科学联合团队将开发一款前沿跨学科模型，用以联结自然系统与人类社会系统，进而在考量社会经济、环境与水资源可持续利用潜力的前提下，精准厘清不同能源与经济发展路径间的权衡取舍关系。
新墨西哥州的能源产业对该州经济发展至关重要，但其发展却受到环境影响与水资源条件的双重制约。亟需构建功能强大的一体化建模工具，以结合水资源、环境与社会经济维度的综合考量，对能源开发活动与资源开发可行性进行科学评估。
