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...

Right as rain? The value of water in Willamette Valley agriculture

Creator:: Kalinin, Alexey V.
Abstract:: Signs of climate change across the Pacific Northwest indicate changing patterns of timing and availability of stream flow. Declining summer low flows, decreasing snow pack, higher temperatures and an increasing fraction of mountain precipitation falling as rain, raise concerns about future reliability of stream flows. These changes will likely affect...

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 computer model to simulate farm irrigation system energy requirements

Creator:: Kizer, Michael A.
Abstract:: The development of the energy crisis has caused the use of depletable energy resources to be monitored quite closely in the United States. Within the agricultural sector, irrigation is a large user of energy, with the potential of using many times more energy than all other agricultural field operations. A...

Irrigated agriculture, energy, and endangered species in the Upper Klamath Basin : Evaluating trade-offs and interconnections

Creator:: Boehlert, Brent B.
Abstract:: In 2001, an extreme drought tightened water supply in the Upper Klamath Basin (basin) while earlier increases in Endangered Species Act (ESA) water requirements for basin fish species that same year elevated demands. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), which manages irrigation water in parts of the basin located near the...

Orchard Irrigation

Creator:: Schrack, Claud and Currin, Harvey William
Abstract:: Irrigation should be recognized as agricultural art of very wide applicability and value. Its association with the idea of desert reclamation has blinded the public mind to its value in reginos where there is no need of reclamation. It is a means of soil improvement to be employed, like other...

Computer simulation of irrigation system improvements : an analysis of income, risk and offsite impacts

Creator:: Taylor, Michael L. (Michael Lester), 1960-
Abstract:: Policy analysts designing programs to improve the efficiency and expand the use of water in the irrigation of farm lands often enlist benefit-cost analysis as a means of assessing impacts and feasibility. While on-site comparisons of costs and benefits are important factors in project assessment, other dimensions such as risk,...

Weed Management, Training, and Irrigation Practices for Organic Production of Trailing Blackberry : Plant Growth, Yield, and Nutrients

Creator:: Dixon, Emily K.
Abstract:: There is limited information available on production of trailing blackberry, particularly certified organic plantings, which are of interest to growers as there is increased consumer demand and a price premium over conventionally-produced fruit. Various production strategies were evaluated for their effect on yield, biomass production, carbon (C), and nutrient concentrations...
