Republican River Compact Investigation <br /> <br />Grantee/Contractor: DWR <br /> <br />Amount of request: $75,000 <br /> <br />Description: This request is designed to help accurately define and quantify the amount <br />of Ogallala aquifer groundwater that is consumed within the Republican River Basin. <br />This will be accomplished through a comprehensive well survey, We anticipate the <br />review and analysis of about 2, I 00 wells. This will be done by reviewing information in <br />the groundwater database known as Well Look, then by performing on-site inspections to <br />verify information, and finally by collating and mapping the field information, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Flood Protection.
