elasticity of resource demand. In the case of groundwater, previous research estimating well-level groundwater demand has largely … ignored the importance of well yield, which is a physical limit on the rate of groundwater extraction. In this research, we … empirically estimate the price elasticity of demand for groundwater using well-level data from Colorado. Our results demonstrate …

Discrete-time stochastic models of groundwater management have been extensively used for understanding a variety of … issues in groundwater management for agriculture. Most models used suffer from two drawbacks: relatively simplistic treatment … practical policy simulation (due to the lack of robustness) and clear understanding of the resulting models and underlying …

Natural resources like air, water (including ground water), land and vegetation are valuable resources that are often not valued in market. Economic valuation aids exploration of the value of services provided by these resources, or to estimate damages made to them. A study was carried out in...

The government has subsidised the use of … more efficient irrigation technology at considerable budgetary cost, which has contributed to a modest reduction of water … use in irrigation in recent years. The participatory approach in water policy governance should be extended further to …

on these climate projections, the irrigation demand of Bavaria's agriculture is calculated in a model simulation. The … model results are subdivided into arable crops, vegetable crops and special crops. Studies on irrigation demand done in the … of the project. The model approach is based on the principle of Geisenheim irrigation management where soil and crop …

This paper attempts to project the likely impact of robust monsoon rains of 2013 on the Agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in India. The model hypothesizes that the performance of agriculture in India depends upon (1) investments in agriculture (private and public); (2)...
