The U.S. Department of Energy's Bioenergy Technology Office has set a goal of developing the resources, technologies, and systems needed to grow a biofuels industry in a way that is economically feasible, socially responsible, and environmentally sustainable (US DOE, 2011). Environmental sustainability emphasizes maintaining the services provided by natural resources--one of the critical components to a sustainable bioenergy industry. Among the natural resources, water use and water quality are key factors that intrinsically link to energy and fuel production across its supply chain and are affected by climate change. In the context of water quality, the delivery of large volumes of nutrients from the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico is a significant national concern. Given the importance of the Mississippi River Basin (MRB) and its role in large-scale biofuel feedstock production, there is an urgent need to examine the interactions between biofuel feedstock production and water quality at a regional scale. Simulations of changes in water quality in response to future scenarios could provide valuable regional-specific information to assist decision makers in project planning and site selection.
