Opportunities for Water-Scarce, Water-Volatile Irrigated Agriculture Land for Energy-Crop Production
This white paper examines the historical and current challenges of water management in the Western U.S., particularly in relation to irrigation infrastructure, agricultural productivity, and energy use. The paper emphasizes the potential of biomass and bioeconomy initiatives as a ...
Hartley, D., and Langholtz, M.
Electrocoagulation for Water Recycle and Resource Recovery from Farm Wastewater
The goal of this proposed project is to use an electrochemical process to recover ammonia as struvite, a slow-release fertilizer, from real dairy-farm wastewater and recycle the treated water for animal cooling, feeding, cleaning, or irrigation. The produced solid fertilizer (bulk...
