![Climate change often comes down to how it affects water, whether it’s for drinking, electricity generation, or how flooding affects people and infrastructure. To better understand these impacts, ORNL water resources engineer Sudershan Gangrade is integrating knowledge ranging from large-scale climate projections to local meteorology and hydrology and using high-performance computing to create a holistic view of the future.](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2023-04/2023-P03062_0.jpg?h=036a71b7&itok=56ulGk2H)
