Our interdisciplinary team is based in 6 states: Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Our group was funded by USDA-NIFA to merge its expertise and networks to support and encourage the adoption of adaptive management strategies critical to the long-term longevity of Ogallala region communities.
Our research focus:
- Advancing cropping and irrigation management in dryland & irrigated production systems (full and limited irrigation)
- Investigating socioeconomic factors that influence water-use decision making
- Assessing potential impact of policy and farm-level practices on long-term regional economic outcomes
- Developing data-based decision support tools that are effective and user-friendly
