Crop insurance and irrigation behavior: The conditional role of pumping costs

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Excessive water use for irrigation can accelerate the depletion of water resources, undermining agriculture's resilience to weather‐related shocks. Understanding how farmers make water use decisions is essential for developing effective water management policies.

Assessment of the development of aquifer management councils (COTAS) for sustainable groundwater management in Guanajuato, Mexico [PDF]

, 2011
Collective groundwater management by water users—self-regulation—is increasingly advocated as a complement to state regulation. This article analyzes the attempts by the Guanajuato State Water Commission (CEAG) in central Mexico to promote user self ...

The causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on Germany's grasslands during a compound drought and heatwave in 2018

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preserving ecosystem services, along with economic and environmental benefits, will require future landscape policies to identify and incorporate relevant landscape features. In this paper, we investigate the causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on drought‐related grassland damages.

Residual NAPL Intermittent Expulsion With Increasing Freeze–Thaw Cycles in Saturated Porous Media: Findings From a 2.5‐D Microfluidic Platform

Water Resources Research
In this study, we developed a 2.5‐D microfluidic experimental platform that enables nondestructive visualization of pore‐throat microstructures and the migration processes of residual non‐aqueous phase liquids (NAPL) within a three‐phase system (water ...

Groundwater quality mapping in urban groundwater using GIS

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2008
Konya City, located in the central part of Turkey, has grown and urbanized rapidly. A large amount of the water requirement of Konya City is supplied from groundwater. The quality of this groundwater was determined by taking samples from 177 of the wells within the study area.
