Agricultural Water Security and Instream Flows for Endangered Salmonids in Coastal California's Watersheds
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mezzatesta,   Mariano; Newburn,   David A.; Brozovic,   Nicholas.
Many rural landowners within the Western United States do not have access to a secure water supply provided by a major dam or an irrigation district. Such water users must rely instead on groundwater pumping and/or seasonal water flows from tributaries. Some of these agricultural producers choose to store winter stream flows from tributaries within onsite reservoirs to secure their spring/summer water needs. However, regulatory agencies have increased restrictions on surface water storage and diversions to improve instream flows for endangered salmon, thus reducing water security for many landowners not located along the main stem.  The majority of salmon habitat is within the tributaries located throughout a watershed. Most research regarding instream...

Conflicts over Water in the Upper Klamath Basin and the Potential Role for Market-Based Allocations
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jaeger,   William K.
The curtailment of irrigation on the Klamath Reclamation Project in 2001 is estimated to have cost farmers more than $35 million. This study examines how alternative water allocations among irrigators in the Upper Klamath Basin could have lowered those costs. Per acre marginal water values vary by a factor of 20 due primarily to variations in soil productivity, with the highest productivity lands concentrated in the federal Project. A linear programming model estimates costs for alternative allocations. Findings indicate that compared to the 2001 allocation, costs could be reduced by 75% with a market-based approach.
