Remedies and Recharge in Groundwater Now Explored
This sixth article in a seven part series surveys groundwater recharge methods and irrigation scheduling. It covers natural and artificial recharge, ponds and wells in the Upper Big Blue District, and ongoing experiments led by Deane M. Manbeck and William F. Lichtler.
Groundwater Recharge Studies in Upper Big Blue Basin
Osceola Nebraska reports plans to study artificial recharge methods in the Upper Big Blue River Basin in 1977. Experiments will measure water movement rates and compare costs for projects, including well recharge surface spreading pond infiltration and prototype canal systems. Residents support research while cautioning about conserving groundwater without waste.
