Ogallala Water

Mr. Hrozencik is a PhD student at Colorado State University. His research focuses on evaluating the economic impacts of differing groundwater conservation policies. He integrates the disciplines of economics and hydrology to understand how the physical attributes of the Ogallala aquifer influence the distribution of policy costs and benefits across users. These results can be used to inform the creation of effective management policies that account for the feedback that exists between economic and hydrologic systems in the rural economies that rely on the Ogallala's groundwater resources.
