Economic assessment of surface water in the Harney Basin, Oregon

Abstract

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.
