A collection of the most advanced and authoritative
agricultural-economic research in the face of increasing water
scarcity. Agriculture has been critical in the development of the
American economy. Except in parts of the western United States,
water access has not been a critical constraint on agricultural
productivity, but with climate change, this may no longer be the
case. This volume highlights new research on the interconnections
between American agriculture, water resources, and climate change.
It examines climatic and geologic factors that affect the
agricultural sector and highlights historical and contemporary
farmer responses to varying conditions and water availability. It
identifies the potential effects of climate change on water
supplies, access, agricultural practices, and profitability, and
analyzes technological, agronomic, management, and institutional
adjustments. Adaptations such as new crops, production practices,
irrigation technologies, water conveyance infrastructure,
fertilizer application, and increased use of groundwater can
generate both social benefits and social costs, which may be
internalized with various institutional innovations. Drawing on
both historical and present experiences, this volume provides
valuable insights into the economics of water supply in American
agriculture as climate change unfolds.
