Nebraska, Kansas water dispute overuse costs and compact
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports WPAGE 3A last year concluded Nebraska owes Kansas 5.5 million for overusing Republican River water in two years. Special master William Kayatta Jr. rejected Kansas demand for 80 million and an order to shut off 300,000 acres of irrigation pumps. The 1943 compact splits water 11 percent to Colorado, 40 percent to Kansas, 49 percent to Nebraska. Kayatta says Nebraska failed to conserve. The Supreme Court will hear Kansas request to modify compact to include groundwater from the Platte basin. Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Solicitor General Stephen R. McAllister will present.
