A key goal of the upcoming Ogallala Aquifer Summit April 9-10, 2018 is to help people find out what's going on in other Ogallala states and to facilitate the exchange of information across state lines. Background material in the form of white papers for each Ogallala State covers state approaches to managing the aquifer, producer practices, and new developments related to science/data and policy. An additional paper on crop insurance rounds out the set.
Master’s research assistantship available for a graduate student to study the economic impacts of alternative water management strategies and/or policies to conserve water in the Ogallala Aquifer at WTAMU in Canyon, TX.
