<br />, 'O'llO'353 <br /> <br />II'JTRODUCT ION <br /> <br />This Appendix presents an inventory of Nebraska's land and water <br />resource problems and needs in support of the State Water Plan Framework <br />Study Report published by the Commission in May, 1971. The main purposes <br />of this Appendix arc to inventory and analyze the water related problems <br />that prevent eft icient uti Ii zation of lJebraska's resources, to estimate <br />future water demands up to 2020, and to suggest further develOpment <br />opportunities. <br /> <br />Studies and accumulation of data required for preparation of this <br />Appendix were initiated in 1967, soon after approval of Legislative <br />Resolution 5. Only data already avai lable were used. However, al I <br />avai lab Ie sources were contacted and use was made of both pub I i shed <br />and unpubl ished data from federal, state, and local agencies. When <br />necessary to describe certain features of the water or related iand <br />resources, estimates were made if no specific data were avai lab Ie. <br />No attempt is made in the report to present detal led basic data, but <br />references are included for sources. Summaries of information and data <br />are presented to provide the user with readi Iy avai lable materials. <br /> <br />The State has been divided into 13 river basins for planning purposes. <br />Figure 1, "River Basin Del ineation," shows the location of the basins. <br /> <br />Most of the information contained in this Appendix was contributed <br />or collected by federal and state agencies and it could not have been <br />completed without their generous assistance. <br /> <br />The Nebraska Soi I and Water Conservation Commission oratefully <br />acknowledges the help and advice received from government agencies, <br />private organizations, and individuals during preparation and review <br />of this report. <br /> <br />Special thanks is accorded to the fol lowing' <br /> <br />Federal Aqencies <br /> <br />Bureau of Reclamation <br />Corps of Engineers <br />Soi I Conservation Service <br />Forest Servi ce <br />Agricultural Stabi lization and Conservation Service <br />Farmers Home Administration <br />Geological Survey <br />Fish and Wildlife Service <br />Water Quality Administration <br /> <br />State Aqenc i es <br /> <br />Department of Water Resources <br />Bureau of Env i ronmenta I Hea I th Serv ices, State Depa rt,"ent of I'ea I th <br />Game and Parks Commission <br />Conservation and Survey Division, University of Ilebraska <br />
