Big water boost at Lake McConaughy boosts summer recreation
Lake McConaughy near Ogallala shows water storage nearly double the 1956 level by Dec 1. The Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District reports 834 thousand acre feet on Dec 1 versus 460 thousand a year earlier, signaling better irrigation prospects and potential for strong fishing boating and swimming this summer.

Live storage in the five Nebraska reservoirs totals 911,140 acre feet by Nov 20, 1957, up from the prior year.
