Charlie Green and the Vast Underground River Theory
Former Nebraska state senator Charlie Green, renowned water expert, died yesterday. He identified Sidney water wells and Legion Park Lagoon sources, argued Lodge Pole Creek was the world’s longest creek, and proposed a vast underground river flowing from the Rockies that feeds Nebraska lakes. He tested near Potter and pursued a canal idea, facing skepticism yet influencing regional water discussions. He believed Denver faced avoidable shortages and urged development of underground reserves as a solution.
