A farm-level economic analysis of water-conserving irrigation systems and commercial agricultural water transfers to instream flows in central Oregon

Creator:: Turner, Brenda
Abstract:: The middle Deschutes River between Bend, Oregon and Lake Billy Chinook typically experiences critically low flows during the irrigation season. Commercial agriculture in the North Unit Irrigation District and Central Oregon Irrigation District is one major user of Deschutes River water. The overall objective of this research was to estimate...

Farm and community-level impacts of irrigation water supply reductions : a case study of Malheur County, Oregon

Creator:: Wyse, Barbara J.
Abstract:: Agricultural water supplies are becoming increasingly uncertain in the western United States due to rising demand from competing water users, environmental restrictions on surface water withdrawals due to water quality and endangered species concerns, and, potentially, climate-induced hydrological changes. Since many rural areas in the West depend economically upon irrigated...

Irrigated agriculture, energy, and endangered species in the Upper Klamath Basin : Evaluating trade-offs and interconnections

Creator:: Boehlert, Brent B.
Abstract:: In 2001, an extreme drought tightened water supply in the Upper Klamath Basin (basin) while earlier increases in Endangered Species Act (ESA) water requirements for basin fish species that same year elevated demands. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), which manages irrigation water in parts of the basin located near the...

Computer simulation of irrigation system improvements : an analysis of income, risk and offsite impacts

Creator:: Taylor, Michael L. (Michael Lester), 1960-
Abstract:: Policy analysts designing programs to improve the efficiency and expand the use of water in the irrigation of farm lands often enlist benefit-cost analysis as a means of assessing impacts and feasibility. While on-site comparisons of costs and benefits are important factors in project assessment, other dimensions such as risk,...

Economic evaluation of different cropping patterns under irrigated agriculture : a multidisciplinary approach

Creator:: Mahrouf, Abdul R. M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to determine the socioeconomic factors which influence the profitability and adoption of new cropping patterns, and to recommend suitable measures to enhance the crop diversification program in Mahaweli System B, Sri Lanka. The adoption of new cropping patterns is determined by a number of...

Evaluation of the ownership, leasing, and residency restrictions of proposed amendments to the reclamation laws : three federal irrigation districts in Oregon

Creator:: Spies, Paul Andrew
Abstract:: The Reclamation Act of 1902, as amended, is the basic legislation governing the distribution of water from federal projects for irrigation purposes. In the three-quarters of a century since the passage of this Act, technological, economic, and legal developments have forced a reappraisal of the original intent of the Reclamation...

Hedonic price analysis to reveal value of water in irrigation : an application to northern Malheur County, Oregon

Creator:: Faux, John
Abstract:: Increasing water demand for growing municipalities, for water-based recreation and for fishery and wildlife habitat has intensified pressure on the existing resource. Reallocation of water from existing uses to other, higher-valued uses is receiving greater attention due to constraints on development of new water supplies. A key to reallocation is...

Estimating the value of irrigation water transferred to instream flow : A case study of Umatilla County, Oregon

Creator:: Ugrinska, Monika P.
Abstract:: Agricultural water supplies are becoming increasingly uncertain in the western United States due to elevated demands from competing water users, environmental restrictions on surface water withdrawals as a result of the establishment of the Endangered Species Act in 1973, and potential climatic changes. Since many rural communities in the West...

The effects of farm and operator characteristics, knowledge, and attitudes on farm-level improvements in irrigation efficiency in the central Willamette Valley

Creator:: Stoff, Mary Cora
Abstract:: A study was conducted using data collected from a sample of mint and vegetable farmers in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The study identifies the influence of demographic differences, economic factors and irrigator attitudes on irrigation efficiency. Only two of the 19 characteristics theorized to influence irrigation efficiency proved to...
