Abstract: The agricultural producers of the High Plains of Northern Texas and Western Oklahoma are faced with the prospect of inadequate ground water supplies to sustain future agricultural production. It is expected that given decreasing water levels the extraction costs or physical capacity of the wells will prohibit bringing additional acres tn1der irrigation and ultimately force reductions in the number of irrigated acres. This paper presents an innovative regional model for evaluating alternative strategies of utilizing the existing groundwater supplies.
