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...

A spatially explicit model for allocating conservation efforts : the Grand Ronde River basin, Oregon

Creator:: Watanabe, Michio
Abstract:: The spatial and dynamic pattern of landscape changes has a profound effect on the supply of environmental services, including the provision of habitat for fish and wildlife. Spatial heterogeneity is a common feature of landscapes in the Pacific Northwest, most notably in areas important to the production of salmonid fish...

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,...

Valuing urban wetlands : a property pricing approach

Creator:: Mahan, Brent L
Abstract:: Wetlands play an important role in our social and economic well being. Many services wetlands provide, such as wildlife habitat, recreation, and aesthetics, are collective goods. Because these services are not represented in a market, an over supply of wetlands converted to other uses and an under supply of protected...

Measuring recreational fishing benefits in a multiple site framework : a case study of the Willamette spring chinook sports fishery

Creator:: Lin, Pei-Chien
Abstract:: The management options chosen by decision makers in managing wildlife and fisheries have different effects for diverse user groups. As a result, natural resource management agencies often seek information to evaluate the effects of alternative policies on the benefits provided to different constituencies. Over the past decade, economists have developed...

The accuracy, applicability and transferability of contingent valuation measures for nonmarket goods

Creator:: Berrens, Robert Patrick, 1962-
Abstract:: Despite several decades of research developments, the survey-based contingent valuation (CV) method remains one of the most controversial topics in environmental economics. As the procedure matures and more applied studies are completed, there is increasing pressure to make the results policy relevant. This research is composed of three distinct yet...

Using valuation functions to estimate changes in the quality of a recreational experience : elk hunting in Oregon

Creator:: Fried, Brett M.
Abstract:: Public agencies need information on the value of recreational activities to assist in managing fish and wildlife species. Over the past two decades economists have developed and applied techniques to measure the value of such non-marketed commodities. The contingent valuation method (CVM) is one technique used by economists to measure...

An economic analysis of alternative water allocations and habitat investments for anadromous fish production, John Day Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Cerda, Arcadio Alberto
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on the economic efficiency of alternative habitat, streamfiow, and land use allocations within a major drainage of the Pacific Northwest. Specifically, productivity of present habitat and streamfiow conditions is evaluated with respect to anadromous fish species (chinook salmon and steelhead trout) in the John Day River Basin,...
