Cover Story: Coastal communities face unique challenges in regard to maintaining continuous service from critical infrastructure. This research advances capabilities for evaluating the impact of wave-powered desalination on resilience. The study focuses on the feasibility of using wave energy conversion to provide drinking water to communities and applying resilience metrics to quantify its impact. To assess the feasibility of wave-powered desalination, this research couples the open-source software Wave Energy Converter SIMulator (WEC-Sim) and Water Network Tool for Resilience (WNTR). It explores variations in both the wave resource (location, seasonality, and duration) and the ability to maintain drinking water service during a disruption scenario. View this paper
