). However, studies that have analyzed the value of groundwater in irrigation have found mixed results. Hartman and Taylor (1989 …) and Sunderland, Libbin and Torell (1987) find that groundwater irrigation has no significant effect on land prices …; Torrell et al. (1990) find a significant positive effect of groundwater in irrigation. One explanation is that in areas where …

The sustainable water use especially for irrigated agriculture in the Texas Panhandle Region is a major concern. A semi-arid climate and average low rainfalls results in little surface water being available year-round. The Ogallala Aquifer is the primary source of irrigation water in this...

A key feature of hydrologically connected surface and groundwater stocks is the two-way exchange of water between the … groundwater systems when economic agents withdraw water from both for use in production. I use the model to describe optimal water … extraction from both stocks and to evaluate how a conjunctive management policy shifts welfare between surface and groundwater …
