\begin{frame}{Guiding Question}
\Large
How does Subdistrict 1 water management change the efficacy of federal payment for environmental services (PES) water conservation efforts?
\vfill
\large
\onslide<2-> Staggered DiD study of the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) for Subdistrict 1 farms initiated in 2014.
\begin{itemize}
\onslide<3->{\item{Effect from enrolled wells, neighboring wells, and selection in the program }}
\onslide<4->{\item{The federal PES conserves 32\% less ground water. }}
\onslide<5->{\item{Program costs rise by 29.5\%. }}
\onslide<6->{\item{Pays the farmers most harmed by the pumping fee.}}
\end{itemize}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Background}
\begin{frame}{CREP}
Provides payments to fallow irrigated land in environmentally sensitive regions. The first contracts started in 2014. \vfill
\onslide<2->{ \textbf{Goals}
\begin{enumerate}
\item{Enroll 40,000 acres of cropland}
\item{Reduce water use by 60,060 acre-feet per year.}
\item{Reduce erosion}
\item{Increase native cover crops}
\end{enumerate}
}
\vfill
\onslide<3-> {\textbf{Current Status}
\begin{enumerate}
\item{10,868 acres enrolled (27.1\% of goal)}
\item{Estimate of 14,755 acre-feet saved a year (24.6\% of goal)}
\end{enumerate}
}
\end{frame}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{frame}{CREP: Payments}
Different payments depending on contract length. Additional support from RGWCD and Sbd1.

\begin{frame}{CREP: Rules}
\Large \textbf{Requirement}
\begin{enumerate}
\item{\(\frac{1}{2}\) acre-feet per acre applied}
\item{Four years of irrigation between 2008 and 2013 }
\item{\(\frac{1}{2}\) acre-feet per acre two years before application}
\end{enumerate}
\vfill
\onslide<2>{Sbd1 pumping fee was \$45 per acre-foot in 2011, rasied to \$75 in 2012. \emph{Only one year with a high pumping fee in eligibility period}}
\end{frame}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{frame}{How can existing Sbd1 conservation affect a PES?}
CREP can induce water savings directly through enrolled wells, or indirectly through the response of neighboring wells \citep{rouhirad2021}.
\vfill
\onslide<2->{\textbf{Possible Effects}}
\begin{itemize}
\onslide<2->{\item{More wells enrolledl (+)}}
\onslide<3->{\item{Less water saved by enrolled wells (-)}}
\onslide<4->{\item{Neighbouring wells change pumping (+) }}
\onslide<5->{\item{Different wells enroll (+/-)}}
