Water right forfeiture in Washington state from 1967 to 2019
Diagram summarizing the methodology and key findings of the paper. Under the prior appropriation doctrine of the Western United States, persistent nonuse of a water right may lead to its forfeiture. Although water right forfeiture is statutorily defined, its incidence remains poorly understood. This paper analyzes water right forfeiture in Washington State from 1967 to 2019 to address this knowledge gap. The data primarily come from water right c…
Shorter growing seasons may moderate climate change effects on crop water demands
Rising evaporative demand (ETo) with a warming climate contributes to diminished water availability in water-stressed agricultural regions globally. While increased ETo typically necessitates increased irrigation, we explore how crop phenological response can moderate this challenge. Focusing on five key agricultural crops in California’s San Joaquin Valley (SJV), we employ coupled water balance and phenology models to project crop water demands …
Changing climate risks for high-value tree fruit production across the United States
Climate change poses growing risks to global agriculture including perennial tree fruit such as apples that hold important nutritional, cultural, and economic value. This study quantifies historical trends in climate metrics affecting apple growth, production, and quality, which remain understudied. Utilizing the high-resolution gridMET dataset, we analyzed trends (1979–2022) in several key metrics across the U.S.—cold degree days, chill portions…
Seasonal forecasts have sufficient skill to inform some agricultural decisions
Seasonal forecasts, which look several months into the future, are currently underutilized in active decision-making, particularly for agricultural and natural resource management. This underutilization can be attributed to the absence of forecasts for decision-relevant variables at the required spatiotemporal resolution and at the time when the decisions are made and a perception of poor skill by decision-makers. Addressing these constraints, we…
