Economic Adjustments to Groundwater Depletion in the High Plains: Do Water-Saving Irrigation Systems Save Water? (2005, unknown): “Efficiency improvements therefore reduce the effective cost of net irrigation, and producers optimally respond to this cost change by increasing net irrigation, ceteris paribus (Whittlesey; Huffaker and Whittlesey 2003, 1995).”
Public subsidies for water‐conserving irrigation investments: Hydrologic, agronomic, and economic assessment (2006, background): “…technologies with higher water-use efficiencies, interest is increasingly turning toward the provision of economic incentives, including instituting higher agricultural water prices or subsidizing investments in more water-efficient irrigation technologies [Huffaker and Whittlesey, 2003].”
Water conservation in irrigation can increase water use (2008, background): “Huffaker R, Whittlesey N (2003) A theoretical analysis of economic incentive policies encouraging agricultural water conservation.”
