Water savings and on-farm production effects when irrigation technology changes:the case of the Klamath Basin

Creator:

Burke, Susan M.

Abstract:

The overall objective of the study is to measure changes in agricultural production and water use patterns under various water supply and allocation mechanisms. The methodology nests an economic model of on-farm decisions in a basin-wide hydrologic model. The economic model forecasts the use of applied water, technology and crop...

Basin-wide distributed modeling of hydrologic responses to irrigation management in the Wood River Basin, Klamath County, OR

Creator:

Owens, Joshua M.

Abstract:

The Wood River Basin lies upstream of Upper Klamath Lake, the main reservoir of the USBR Klamath Irrigation Project that provides irrigation water to 210,000 acres of downstream land. Water allocation became a contentious issue in 2001 when drought led to curtailment of irrigation deliveries to the Klamath Irrigation Project...
