Surface water with measurable live flow within the district consists of the Arikaree <br />River, and the North Fork and :South Fork of the Republican River. The Ogallala Agzrifer underlies most <br />of the geographic area of the district from which water is pumped to the surface for irrigation, <br />municipal, commercial, industrial, domestic and livestock use. <br />On October 12, 200=1 the Board created the Republican River Water Conservation District Water <br />Activity Enterprise, as allowed by the statute. Through this Enterprise a water use fee was assessed on <br />all irrigated acres within the district, on municipal and commercial uses, as well as a fee for evaporative <br />losses from Bonny Reservoir. Funds collected from these fees are used, along with money from various <br />federal programs, to offer incentives to get water rights vohrntarily retired to reduce consumptive 11se of <br />water within the district. <br />16 <br />5 ID v iCi 15 Mires <br />A%FM%M!M
