Phosphorus Imbalances in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed: Can Forestland and Manure Processing Facilities Be the Answers?
Catma, Serkan; Collins, Alan R. - In: Agricultural and Resource Economics Review 40 (2011) 1
A mixed-integer linear programming model was formulated to minimize the cost of transport and processing of excess manure in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The results showed that primarily poultry manure was moved out of surplus counties for land application or processing. In the base model,...

TRADITIONAL USES OF INPUT-OUTPUT MODELS IN WATERSHED PROGRAMS PLANNED UNDER PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES
Sheets, Keith - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 1998
This paper outlines the traditional uses of input-output (I/O) modeling in watershed programs planned under federal "Principles and Guidelines." Generally, the national economic development costs and benefits are analyzed, and the I/O model is used to track on regional economic development...

Sequencing Renewables: Groundwater, Recycled Water, and Desalination
Roumasset, James A.; Wada, Christopher - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2011
consider the role that wastewater recycling plays in the optimal extraction of groundwater, a renewable resource. We develop a … two-sector dynamic optimization model to solve for the optimal trajectories of groundwater extraction and water recycling … for agricultural users, while desalination supplements household groundwater in the steady state. In both cases, recycling …

New Zealand freshwater management and agricultural impacts
Cullen, Ross; Hughey, Kenneth F.D.; Kerr, Geoffrey N. - In: Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 50 (2006) 3
In New Zealand, it is increasingly recognised, including by government, that water resource allocation and water quality are issues of national importance. Agriculture is frequently portrayed by public media as a major user of water and a major contributor to worsening water quality. We outline...
