Increasing demands for water related services of the Columbia River and
its tributaries create conflicts between users During the 1970's the
conflict has centered around three major water uses - irrigation, hydroelectric
power generation, and fisheries. This study analyzes some of
the tradeoffs between upstream depletion of water for irrigation...

The overall objective of the research reported here is to
empirically measure the ability of farmers to mitigate the impact of
rising electricity prices by substituting relatively inexpensive
alternative inputs. A dual cost methodology is employed because it
allows theoretically consistent derivation of own price and factor
substitution elasticities, conditional...

The research effort described in this report explores the whole question of optimization of irrigation system design, planning and operations. Optimum irrigation practices, in theory, may involve some degree of deficit irrigation (deliberate under-irrigation of crops), hence the focus of this research was the use of deficit irrigation under practical...

Linear economic models were utilized to predict effects of various
environmental control policies on individual firms. Four different
linear models were specified and in some instances relatively
minor changes in specification were made which resulted in additional
sub-models. Models varied as to numbers and types of fixed
factors, variable cost...
The farmers of the Columbia Plateau region of Oregon, as well as other individuals and groups, have expressed a desire for information on the economic feasibility of irrigated farming in their area. This recent interest in irrigation is a result of reduced lifts and lower pumping costs brought about by...
