R&D 100 Entry 2022: Palo Verde Water Cycle Model

The Palo Verde Water Cycle Model is a dynamic multi-physics and economics code that allows managers and engineers to assess the economic benefit of potential water-saving technologies and water sources before money is invested in them. This technology can have significant effects on how water management is performed in the industry, potentially helping to make water more available for other activities. The use of this software, with small modifications, could help ensure that companies are more conscious of using the world's most precious natural resource. SAND2022-6913V
