Reducing aggregate depletion (real water savings)

This page follows up on the publication of my 2023 paper, and its Appendices A and B.

• The 2023 paper is Lankford, B.A. 2023. Resolving the paradoxes of irrigation efficiency: Irrigated systems accounting analyses depletion-based water conservation for reallocation. Agricultural Water Management 287: 108437. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agwat.2023.108437
• Both Appendix A and B can be downloaded from the journal’s link in the previous bullet point.
• If you downloaded Appendix B from the journal during the period Friday 28 July 2023 to Friday 4th August, please disregard it as the publisher erroneously uploaded a much older version that lacked some important updates.
• Appendix A which acts as the manual for the model is here. (Dated 25 July 2023 – same as the article’s Appendix A).
• Appendix B which is the Excel model is here. This is dated 27 July 2023, the latest version. What’s new in this ISA version? The model only has three worksheets to provide a simpler user-experience; it has removed the ISA cases and other sheets that referenced those analyses.
