The Impact of Energy Shortage and Cost on Irrigation for the High Plains and Trans Pecos Regions of Texas
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1978)
The High Plains and Trans Pecos regions of Texas are semi-arid crop production regions located in the western part of the state. Relatively low levels of rainfall are supplemented by irrigation from groundwater supplies. ...
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 ...
Economically Optimum Agricultural Utilization of a Reclaimed Water Resource in the Texas Rolling Plains
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-09)
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) has proposed a project that would reduce the flow from saline springs and seeps within the groundwater alluvium of the Red River Basin. While the amount of salts moving through the ...
Value of Irrigation Water with Alternative Input Prices, Product Prices and Yield Levels: Texas Coastal Bend, Cross Timbers, Deep East, Edwards Aquifer, El Paso, Gulf Coast, Lower South Central, Rolling Plains, Trans Pecos and Winter Garden Regions
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1975-04)
Agriculture is a major income generating sector of the Texas economy. Irrigated agriculture is an important part of Texas agriculture and an "adequate" water supply is important in maintaining a viable agriculture. Irrigation ...
Economic Effect on Agricultural Production of Alternative Energy Input Prices: Texas High Plains
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1976-06)
The Arab oil embargo of 1973 awakened the world to the reality of energy shortages and higher fuel prices. Agriculture in the United States is highly mechanized and thus energy intensive. This study seeks to develop an ...
A Model for Estimating Demand for Irrigation Water on the Texas High Plains
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1975-05)
With rapidly changing conditions in production agriculture, the need for highly flexible and quickly applicable methods of analysis is emphasized. The purpose of this study was to develop such a model for a homogeneous ...
An Economic Feasibility Study of Irrigated Crop Production in the Pecos Valley of Texas
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1979-03)
Public concern over the potential effects of energy price increases on the U.S. food and fiber system has been dramatically justified in the Trans Pecos region of Texas where a 450 percent increase in the price of natural ...
Establishing Crop Acreage Flexibility Restraints for Subregions of the Texas High Plains
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1977-01)
Cropping pattern shifts in many aggregate linear programming (LP) models need to be constrained due to institutional, marketing machinery, and price uncertainty factors. The purpose of this study was to estimate constraints ...
Economic Implications of Alternative Cotton Production Strategies in the Lower Rio Grand Valley of Texas.
(Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
Economic Implications of Farmer Storage of Surface Irrigation Water in Federal Projects: El Paso County, Texas
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1981-12)
The Bureau of Reclamation has approved a program for farmer storage of surface irrigation water in Elephant Butte Reservoir, New Mexico. This program would allow individual farmers to store part of their annual surface ...
