Defining The 'Saving' In Agriculture Water When Irrigation Technology Is A Choice Variable: The Case Of The Klamath Basin

Abstract

Increasing demand for water in the environment has increased the cost of irrigation water in agriculture leading to the adoption of water saving irrigation technologies, reducing agricultural return flows. However, when agricultural return flows are a source of environmental supply 'savings' soon disappear because of the reduced agricultural return flows
