A web application for cotton irrigation management on the U.S. Southern High Plains. Part II: Application design

Abstract

A web-based application to help Southern High Plains cotton producers estimate profitability under center pivot irrigated production is described. The application’s crop modeling and general profit calculation approach are outlined in a preceding companion paper, while additional details of the profit model and the application’s operational features and GUI design are presented here. In addition, the assumptions and approximations made in the application’s crop modeling and profit calculation are summarized, and directions are provided for accessing the application on the Ogallala Aquifer Project web page.
