Potential conservation opportunities from the use of improved irrigation scheduling in the Pacific Northwest region

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5912837· OSTI ID:5912837
This report documents research to identify the potential energy savings and the costs per kWh saved from using systematic rather than traditional irrigation scheduling to reduce water usage in the irrigated agricultural sector of the Pacific Northwest. This research is part of an overall project aimed at developing a computer model and data base that will allow for estimation of the potential energy savings and cost effectiveness of a number of conservation technologies that are available for use in irrigated agriculture.
