Reservoir systems in the western US are managed to serve two main competing purposes: to reduce flooding during the winter and spring, and to provide water supply for multiple uses during the summer. Because the storage capacity of a reservoir cannot be used for both flood damage reduction and water storage at the same time, these two uses are traded off as the reservoir fills during the transition from the wet to the dry season. Climate change, population growth, and development in the western US may exacerbate dry season water scarcity and increase winter flood risk, creating a need to …

Reliance on increasing amounts of renewable energy, however, may lead to significant unanticipated increases in pollution because of the likelihood of fossil fuel facilities starting, stopping, and running more often to back up renewable resources. Estimates show that these emissions increases can drastically undercut the potential emission benefits of increased renewable penetration. To date, this changing role of fossil fuel facilities has not been thoughtfully evaluated in Clean Air Act permitting decisions for new and modified sources, even though the Act requires consideration of all …
