| Title | Estimated Farm Level Benefits of Improved Irrigation Efficiency |
| Creator | Lee, John G. Lacewell, Ronald D. Ellis, John R. Reneau, Duane R. |
| Description | There are about 15 million acres of cropland in the U.S. that are irrigated from aquifers which are incurring declining water levels (sloggett). This is primarily in the Great Plains Region where irrigation water is pumped from the Ogallala Aquifer. Mining from the aquifer is estimated at 14 million acre feet per year (Frederick and Hanson).
