This paper provides a review of different 'irrigation efficiency'concepts evolved over the time
since the term was originally conceived, from an engineering perspective; the impact of …

Abstract Ranching in the American West has long relied on riparian ecosystems to grow
grass-hay to feed livestock in winter and during drought. Producers seasonally flood …

Groundwater return flow to streams is important for maintaining aquatic habitat and
providing water to downstream users, particularly in irrigated watersheds experiencing water …

In flood irrigation systems in which water is diverted from a river system, the return of
recharge water to the river via groundwater discharge can play a key role in sustaining …

Agricultural irrigation practices have changed through time as technology has enabled more
efficient conveyance and application. In some agricultural regions, irrigation can contribute …

Water management in snowmelt hydrologic regimes, characterized by large annual
fluctuations in stream flow driven by seasonal snow melt, faces the challenge of highly …

There are multiple conflicts between agronomic uses and environmental conservation.
Environmental flows must be respected on basins with human interventions. The water …

Snowmelt hydrologic regimes, where annual streamflow is prominently influenced by the
timing and quantity of runoff generated during spring snow melt, are likely to experience …

Abstract The US Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Upper Gunnison River Water
Conservancy District, studied historical streamflow in a reach of the East River, Colorado, to …
