Water Availability Reporting System pasture and recreation provides a foundation for assessing tradeoffs that occur with future surface water management and the joint production of forage and habitat. Improved monitoring and research related to the joint production of forage and habitat on flood-irrigated pasture and better collection of recreation use visitor data in the basin would further the ability to enhance the joint production of goods and services from surface water use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
