Slight Decrease in Water Supply Across Nebraska
University of Nebraska expert Dean Condra reports groundwater in Nebraska declined only slightly during three years of drought. Analyzing 500 wells, he estimates about 900 million acre feet of groundwater statewide, with 5040 thousand acre feet in the Sandhills. He warns a long drought could worsen supplies but supports pump irrigation via wells to keep water in use rather than allow it to leave the state.
