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 ...
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 ...
Impact of New Irrigation Technology on the Texas High Plains: 1980-2020
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1983-12)
Crop production on the Texas High Plains is constrained by limited and erratic rainfall, hence irrigation is important. Presently, 6 million acres, or 50% of regional cropland, are irrigated annually. Irrigation water is ...
Economic Implications of Farmer Storage of Surface Water in Federal Projects: Elephant Butte Irrigahon District, Dona Ana and Sierra Counties, New Mexico
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1982-12)
This study estimated the expected regional impact and economic feasibility of a proposed water accumulation or water saving option for agricultural producers operating in the Elephant Butte Irrigation District in southern ...
The Agricultural Benefits of Salinity Control on the Red River of Texas and Oklahoma
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-12)
Salinity of the waters from the Red River and its major tributaries has virtually eliminated its use for irrigation of agricultural crops in Texas and Oklahoma. A chloride control project has been proposed whereby the ...
Economic Implications of New Crops, Row Damming and Land Clearing in the Texas Winter Garden
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1983-02)
The chief sources of groundwater for the Texas Winter Garden are the Carrizo (Dimmit, Zavala, Frio, and LaSalle Counties) and Edwards (Uvalde County) Aquifers. The major user of groundwater in the region is irrigation. ...
Break-Even Investment in a Wind Energy Conversion System for an Irrigated Farm on the Texas High Plains
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1981)
The purpose of this study was to quantify the benefits of using a wind energy system for irrigation. The value of wind energy was estimated on both a static basis (where the annual value of wind power was assumed to be ...
Recursive Programming Model for Crop Production on the Texas High Plains
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1984-02)
A flexible, recursive programming model of crop production on the Texas High Plains was developed. Besides the linear programming (LP) Optimization routine and recursive feedback section, the model also includes a matrix ...
