| Abstract: | This paper analyze the problems of water
resource allocation and crop choice in a river basin using
spatial analytical tools. Spatial variability of water availability
is modelled by the product sum model. Here the water
availability at any farm Z(xj) is a joint spatio-temporal
environment and socioeconomic process. Water availability is
estimated using spatial econometric tool. Here the spatial
weight matrix (W) is constructed by taking water user
associations (WUA) as boundaries. The choice of a crop is
explained using spill over model in which the choice of a crop is
influenced by the choice of neighbouring farmers. Here the
spatial lag model is modified to adapt the latent variable (y*)
which has a binary outcome. |
