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...
