Energy Efficiency versus Economic Efficiency of Pollution Abatement in an Irrigated Farming Area of the Pacific Northwest
2018
Obersinner, Vincent | Whittlesey, Norman K.
The national goals of a cleaner environment and energy conservation are in conflict in many areas. This paper examines the energy requirements of abating pollution from irrigation return flows. It is shown, for the area studied, that pollution control practices need not increase the energy requirements of a particular farm. However, some energy intensive practices such as sprinkler systems may be chosen by farmers for reasons other than effective pollution abatement.
