Water use rules eyed in Nebraska irrigation
Tighter controls on irrigation pumping could reach extreme southwestern Nebraska this fall under the Ground Water Management Act of 1975. The Upper Republican Natural Resource District expects expanded well spacing and pumping rotation by November, with hearings to declare Perkins Chase and Dundy counties as control areas. Flow meters on all wells may be installed within two years to allocate water by acre inches per acre, over periods longer than a single year.
