Economics of On-farm Reservoirs and Other Water Conservation Improvements on Arkansas Rice Farms
نویسنده
چکیده
The Modified Arkansas Off-Stream Reservoir Analysis (MARORA) model estimates the economics of on-farm reservoirs and other water conservation improvements in alternative ground water situations. With restricted ground water supply, a combination of different water conservation methods is estimated to provide the greatest economic return. On-farm reservoirs are not economical if ground water is adequate but underground pipe and land leveling increase income.
