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...

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...

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...

Impact of artificial flooding on farm profits and streamflow in Echo Meadows, Oregon

Creator:: Seely, Harold E.
Abstract:: Competition for water both from within the irrigation community and from outside interests has been a major source of conflict in the West. In the Umatilla Basin of central Oregon, Umatilla River water is diverted to irrigate a variety of crops, while instream flows have value in salmonid production. Historically,...

The willingness of Central Oregon irrigators to donate water rights to augment Deschutes River flow

Creator:: Barkley, David, 1972-
Abstract:: This study used contingent valuation techniques to estimate the willingness of central Oregon Irrigators to donate a portion of their water rights to increase Deschutes River flow. This study was different from previous contingent valuation studies in that it used water rights as the payment vehicles instead of dollars -...
