Program
The 10-day training involved advanced conceptual and practical training by international experts in the use and adoption of tools to address linkages between water resources and conventional and non-conventional energy, and interdisciplinary physical and social science approaches to water and energy joint management. The Water Evaluation and Planning System (WEAP) and Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) models were used to strengthen diagnostic skills and support integrated policy and co-management of water and energy. There also were exercises and projects implementing lessons learned during the course in participants’ own locations.

With support from the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI), this training was conducted under the auspices of the AQUASEC Center of Excellence for Water Security. AQUASEC is a collaborative initiative of the University of Arizona, the IAI, the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, Water Center for Arid and Semiarid Zones of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAZALAC), the Stockholm Environment Institute, and the International Hydrology Program of UNESCO (PHI), among others.
Objective
To strengthen water and energy security through joint management in the context of adaption to global change in the Arid Americas. Specifically:
1) Provide participants with tools to evaluate potential impacts of energy development on water resources and energy demands associated with water use
2) Integrate hydrological, climatic, social and economic development analyses
3) Enhance management options for energy and water sectors
4) Promote the use of decision-making tools in the management of water and energy under conditions of uncertainty
5) Develop a regional knowledge network of experts in joint energy-water management
