Estimated plant water use and crop coefficients for drip-irrigated hybrid polars

Creator:

Gochis, David J.

Abstract:

Estimations of plant water use can provide great assistance to growers, irrigators, engineers and water resource planners. This is especially true concerning the introduction of a new crop into irrigated agriculture. Growing hybrid poplar trees for wood chip stock and veneer production under agronomic practices is currently being explored as...

Identification of economic, social, and policy factors influencing irrigation district participation in water transactions in the Deschutes Basin

Creator:

Whitman, Cally A.

Abstract:

Surface water in the Deschutes Basin of central Oregon has been largely over allocated since the early 1900s. Therefore, rapid population growth and urban demand for water in the upper Basin lead to an increased reliance on groundwater in the last three decades. The Oregon Department of Water Resources (OWRD)...

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,...
