Externalities and Simultaneity in Surface Water-Groundwater Systems: Challenges for Water Rights Institutions

Author:
Kelly M. Cobourn  


Issue Date:
2014


Abstract(summary):

In recognition of the hydraulic connectivity between surface and groundwater resources, states across the western U. S. have begun to develop systems of conjunctive administration, which jointly manage property rights for surface and groundwater. Implementing conjunctive administration requires an understanding of when and where surface and groundwater resources interact, and how decisions about water use influence surface and groundwater availability over space and time. I empirically estimate the relationship between surface water flows and the depth to groundwater using a panel dataset for the Eastern Snake River Plain of Idaho from 1960–2011. I find that changes in the depth to groundwater contribute to a decline in surface water flows, but that the effect decreases as the groundwater table declines. Decreasing groundwater levels are attributable not only to groundwater pumping, but also to a widespread shift from flood to sprinkler irrigation technology, which has reduced groundwater recharge.
