Abstract: We examine the joint management of groundwater quantity and surface water quality using on-farm reservoirs with a spatial-dynamic model of farm profit maximization in the Arkansas Delta. Several policies for alleviating groundwater depletion and enhancing water quality are compared to find which strategies are cost-efficient for the conservation goals.
