No 322772, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The Republican River drainage area consists of 25,018 square miles in northeastern Colorado, southwestern Nebraska and northwestern Kansas. This study area is concerned with the 9,712 square miles in Nebraska or 39 percent of the entire Republican River drainage area. The Nebraska portion is triangular shaped with an east-west length of 230 miles and a maximum north-south distance of 70 miles. The elevation in Nebraska ranges from about 3,300 feet in the western section to about 1,500 feet at the point where the Republican River leaves Nebraska and enters Kansas. Land and water areas in Nebraska amount to 6,215,500 acres. The purpose of the Republican River Basin Cooperative Study is to identify the water and land related problems and possible solutions within the authority assigned to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). This study area is the portion of the Republican River Basin in Nebraska and hereafter referred to as the basin. Data developed in the course of this study will also be used by the Nebraska Natural Resources Commission (NNRC) in the development of the Nebraska Water Planning and Review Process. The four Natural Resources Districts (NRD) in which almost all the basin lies are the Upper Republican, Middle Republican, Lower Republican, and the Tri-Basin. These NRD's will use the results of this study as guidelines in developing their respective plans of work.
