<br />
<br />Depletion of ground water supplies due to irrigation is one of the major water
<br />policy questions facing the western States. Traditional responses have included
<br />ignoring the problem, or utilizing a supplemental water supply. Regulating ground
<br />water withdrawals has not been implemented, because it is perceived as too
<br />politically controversial. The 1975 Nebraska Ground Water Management Act (Act) is
<br />among the first administrative attempts to significantly reduce ground water
<br />withdrawals. The Act gives each local Natural Resource District (NRD) the option
<br />of regulating ground water use through the establishment of ground water control
<br />areas. Ground water controls authorized by the Act include: (1) well spacing
<br />restrictions; (2) rotation of pumping restrictions; (3) ground water allocation by
<br />establishing what quantities may be withdrawn; and (4) well drilling moratoria. In
<br />addition, an NRD may adopt other reasonable ground water controls. The Act also
<br />requires NRD's to establish and enforce regulations to control runoff from ground
<br />water irrigation. The blend of local and State responsibilities implicit in the Act has
<br />led to cooperation among State and local natural resource agencies and to an
<br />increased awareness of various aspects of ground water management.
