Impact of Alternative Energy Prices, Tenure Arrangements and Irrigation Technologies on a Typical Texas High Plains Farm
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-05)
Irrigation is a major contributing factor in crop production on the Texas High Plains. It is responsible for greatly increasing crop production and farm income for the region. Two factors, a declining groundwater supply ...
Automation of Pivot Sprinkler Irrigation Systems to More Efficiently Utilize Rainfall and Irrigation Water
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-08)
A study was conducted to develop automated pivot sprinkler irrigation systems and determine if such systems use less water and energy than manually operated systems. The study was conducted near Earth, Texas, using irrigation ...
Evaluation of the Impact of Texas Lignite Development on Texas Water Resources
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-07)
Fuel shortages and resultant rising fuel costs as well as federal policies prompting energy independence have served to encourage power companies to exploit available lignite deposits of the western states as a viable fuel ...
Silvicultural Activities in Relation to Water Quality in Texas: An Assesment of Potential Problems and Solutions
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1978-02-01)
Southern forests are expected to supply a large portion of the Nation's future timber requirement. Projected demands on southern forests continue to exceed allowable cut. As an outgrowth of this demand, intensive management ...
