    1. Water and Renewable Energy with Rapid Growth in the Arizona-Sonora Border Region

    2. Humanitys Top 10 Problems for the Next 50 Years Energy Water Food Environment Poverty Terrorism and War Disease Education Democracy Population

    3. Objective Identify the needs, opportunities, and impediments for binational joint water-energy management at the Arizona/Sonora border

    4. Outline Growth, energy and water Renewable energy resources at the border Water resources at the border Preliminary conclusions and next steps

    5. Growth, Energy & Water

    7. Population Trends in Mexico 1970 - 1995

    8. Population vs Energy Demand (1990-2005)

    9. Average Gallons per MWhr for Arizona-Based Facilities and this one is withoutand this one is without

    10. APS projected energy demand As Arizona has gained residents, the demand for electricity has rapidly grown. As Arizona has gained residents, the demand for electricity has rapidly grown.

    12. Water-Energy Joint Management

    13. 2. Renewable energy resources at the border

    17. Arizonas Geothermal Resource

    18. Tidal Turbine Farm artist impression

    19. Solar Potential in the US

    20. Solar Potential in Mexico Solar radiation in Mexico is one of the highest in the world, allowing for an average solar power generation of 5 KW /m2 per day. A hybrid combined cycle power station, with a 25 MW thermo-solar system, is scheduled to begin operations in 2009, in Agua Prieta, Sonora. Also Mexico have solar potential. The average insolatin level is about 5 kWh per square metter daily. A combined cycle hybrid power station, with 25 MW solar system is planned to be in place by 2009 in Agua Prieta, SonoraAlso Mexico have solar potential. The average insolatin level is about 5 kWh per square metter daily. A combined cycle hybrid power station, with 25 MW solar system is planned to be in place by 2009 in Agua Prieta, Sonora

    21. 3. Water resources at the border

    25. Tucson Water-Energy Use

    27. Growing Exports of Ag. Produce = Growing (Virtual) Water Trade

    29. Changes in Depth to Water

    30. Night-time ag. pumping

    31. 3. Preliminary findings and next steps

    32. Opportunities for Renewables at the Arizona/Sonora Border Growth = renewable energy opportunities Border area has highest North America solar resource Open space favors solar deployment Solar energy has the double advantage of being abundant and using least water

    33. Electricity Requirements for RO Desalination Plants Demand A 50 MGD (~ 50,000 AF / year @ 90% uptime) SW RO Desalination Plant Needs 20 35 MW BW RO Desalination Plant Needs 8 20 MW Electricity Consumption Conventional Surface Water 500 700 kWh/AF Municipal WW Reclamation 1,000 1,200 Brackish Water 1,300 2,100 Sea Water 3,260 -- 4,900

    34. Declining Energy Consumption for Desalination
