Book Water Resources Planning to Satisfy Growing Demand in an Urbanizing Agriculture Region

Download or read book Water Resources Planning to Satisfy Growing Demand in an Urbanizing Agriculture Region written by Thomas C. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report discusses the theory of demand for irrigation water and includes an empirical application of linear programming to the estimates of irrigation water demand on the Jordan River Basin of Utah. Water diverted for irrigation is valued at a maximum of approximately $14 an acre foot. Consumptively used, it has a maximum value of over $36. Supply functions for irrigation and M and I water were estimated subject to constraints on wetland diversions and basin outflow from the Jordan Basin. Estimated costs of supplying M and I water varies from $70 to over $236 per acre-foot, and the cost of supplying irrigation water varies from $.52 to over $112 per acre-foot. An optimizing model of water resources allocation was developed by comparing the supply and demand models into a single linear programming problem (a graphical solution is also presented).

Book The State of the World s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture

Download or read book The State of the World s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State of the World's Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture is FAO's first flagship publication on the global status of land and water resources. It is an 'advocacy' report, to be published every three to five years, and targeted at senior level decision makers in agriculture as well as in other sectors. SOLAW is aimed at sensitizing its target audience on the status of land resources at global and regional levels and FAO's viewpoint on appropriate recommendations for policy formulation. SOLAW focuses on these key dimensions of analysis: (i) quantity, quality of land and water resources, (ii) the rate of use and sustainable management of these resources in the context of relevant socio-economic driving factors and concerns, including food security and poverty, and climate change. This is the first time that a global, baseline status report on land and water resources has been made. It is based on several global spatial databases (e.g. land suitability for agriculture, land use and management, land and water degradation and depletion) for which FAO is the world-recognized data source. Topical and emerging issues on land and water are dealt with in an integrated rather than sectoral manner. The implications of the status and trends are used to advocate remedial interventions which are tailored to major farming systems within different geographic regions.
