Market water transfers as a water quality policy : a case study of the Malheur River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Connor, Jeffery D.
Abstract:: Agronomic research documents a strong correlation between the level of irrigation water applied and the level of farm chemicals leached into water bodies.

A cost effectiveness analysis of actions to reduce stream temperature : a case study of the Mohawk watershed

Creator:: Mooney, Sian, 1965-
Abstract:: The concept of ecosystem management requires that management prescriptions account for economic and environmental goals that are measured in non-commensurate units. This study examines the economic and environmental trade-offs associated with planting a riparian buffer in trees to reduce stream temperatures in the Mohawk watershed, Oregon. The detrimental effects of...

Economic sustainability of beef cattle ranching with alternative grazing systems in riparian zones, eastern Oregon

Creator:: Abedin, Joynal
Abstract:: Traditional season-long livestock grazing strategy on western riparian areas has been identified as one of the factors affecting rangeland productivity as well as wildlife habitat in riparian zones. As alternatives to summer season-long grazing, summer short-duration grazing (without haying), and fall short-duration grazing (following haying), were considered in this study...
