ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS <br />Initial funding for this study was provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with <br />continuation funding provided by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The Nebraska Game and <br />Parks Commission also contributed funds for parts of the analysis. The cooperation and use of <br />the wet - meadow study sites from the Platte River Whooping Crane Habitat Maintenance Trust <br />and the National Audubon Society was greatly appreciated. Thanks to Larry Dolan, the first <br />Project Scientist, for designing and installing the hydrologic sampling network, including most <br />of the groundwater wells at each site. Assistance in the field from Paul Currier, Marie Strom, <br />Ross Metcalf, and Bill Dunn helped make the long hours enjoyable (often under harsh <br />conditions), and provided invaluable additional data for the analysis. Finally, thanks to the <br />irrigators who took their valuable time to record their pumping times and provide these records <br />for our analysis of the effects of adjacent groundwater withdrawals at each site. <br />v <br />
