Adaptation of Western US Agriculture to Climate Change Induced Water Scarcity

archived

The reason for this continuation is to embark on and complete the second phase of our research project. We are on track to accomplish all milestones laid out for the first year and first phase of the project. The goal of this proposed research is to compile and synthesize studies that address the impact of climate change on water resources and agricultural production in the western US. This proposed research is expected to prepare the basis for a larger project where data collected in this phase plus data to be identified from existing datasets will be merged and analyzed to provide a quantitative assessment of adaptation of farmers to Climate Change Induced Water Scarcity.
