Abstract: In response to the declining availability of irrigation water from the Ogallala aquifer, irrigation at the level where MVP=MFC increases net returns over either irrigating to maximize production or meet 100% of the evapotranspiration (PET) requirements. This prolongs the economic life of the aquifer and increases the efficiency of irrigation.
