Determining the Feasibility of Using Remote Sensing to Estimate Irrigation Water Use in South Dakota at the Field Scale
… (ET) offers the possibility to monitor Irrigation water use at the field scale in a consistent manner over a large area through the use of satellite imagery. Several existing ET remote sensing models rely on a thermal band arid/or red and near infrared bands of the electromagnetic …

Essays in water resource economics
… presents three studies on the economics of water use and quality. The first two chapters analyze farmers' irrigation behavior both empirically and theoretically. Finally, the third chapter looks at how effective regulations are in changing firms' water polluting behavior. In chapter 1, I …

Integrated assessment of global agricultural land and water resources in a changing world
Climate-Water-Food (CWF) system involves numerous interactions and is gaining much attention since last decade. Climate change has generated significant influences on natural resources and agriculture, and the impacts are likely to amplify in the future. Land and water resources are two main …

Segmentation of the market for labeled ornamental plants by environmental preferences: A latent class analysis
… issues affecting ornamental plant producers: irrigation water use and plant disease. Our research investigated how to better understand the market for plants certified as disease free and/or produced using water conservation techniques through segmenting the market by consumers' environmental …

Understanding consumers' ornamental plant preferences for disease-free and water conservation labels
Product labeling is increasingly used as a tool to differentiate products with public and private benefits that cannot be readily evaluated by a consumer at the time of purchase. Our research investigates how a labeling program may be applied in the sale of ornamental plants to address two key …

Hydrologic Conditions and Streamflow Change in an Evolving Semi-Arid Agricultural Watershed, Smith River, Montana
Agricultural land and water use has modified natural flow regimes in the western US. Understanding the effect of agricultural water use on streamflow is critical to effective water management and is often limited by the available data record. This investigation evaluates agricultural water use and …

Short run irrigation water demand : an empirical evaluation of the role of price, crop and technology choice
Considerable interest has arisen regarding irrigation water use in, especially, arid areas where competition for this scarce but crucial commodity is likely to intensify. The immediate implication is that user sectors, of which irrigated agriculture is the largest, must ensure efficient and …

Agronomic and physiological impacts of irrigation frequency on green basil (Ocimum basilicum L.)
Water scarcity is a major factor restricting agricultural production and irrigation globally, with sustainable agricultural development calling for less irrigation water use and more production per unit of water applied. Improved understanding of plant physiological responses to water stress, and …

A tripartite study on Bayesian estimation of photosynthetically active radiation, impacts of future climate, and adaptation strategies on crop production: a spatial model framework for the Eastern Kansas River Basin
… insight on crop productivity and water use management. More so, improvement in process-based crop model inputs such as photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is essential to enhance model accuracy, while also documenting new estimation methods. The ultimate goal of this …

Elaboration d’un modèle d’écobilan de l’exploitation agricole irriguée. Cas du périmètre du Tadla – Maroc
… is mainly translated by a degradation of the waters quality and a soils salinization under irrigation. In the, studied zone of the present work, the lands irrigation started since several decades by using waters of sometimes very degraded mineral quality, on one hand, and the agricultural …

Effect of irrigation technology and plant density on cotton growth, yield, yield components, and water use efficiency
Limited water resources and insufficiently developed infrastructure provide challenges to sustainable production of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in Western Kansas. This study aimed to (i) assess the effect of irrigation technology and plant density on cotton growth, yield, and yield components, …

Advancing Water Security and Environmental Sustainability Through Evaluation of Water Use From the Field to State-Wide Scale
The United States (US) has experienced a surge in water shortages and droughts in recent times. Water shortages can result from population growth, climate change, inadequate water management policies, and the improper use of available technologies. The existing data and research on water use …
