This upgrade provides the same functionality with the added optional feature of trend processing. Trend processing is an extension of CWA that permits entry of a range of values or an input variable (commodity price, maximum yield, production costs, irrigation system efficiency, and irrigation costs).More information about Trend Processing can be found in the program's Help menu, along with user tips throughout the process. |

 Many irrigators are facing challenges because of declining water yields from their wells. To make reductions in water use, irrigators are considering shifts in cropping patterns. Irrigators who have shrinking water supplies need to know what crop combinations earn the most net returns. Furthermore, they need to allocate both land and water to multiple crops. With powerful personal computers common to consumers in the last 5 years, another alternative to the same challenge is available. Personal computers have the capability to solve iterative approaches to complex questions. This approach was used as a seasonal planning tool to find the optimum net return from all of the combinations of crops, irrigation amounts, and land allocations that the program user wants to examine. |
