Re: Lower Platte River Consortium Interlocal AgreementForm Agreement • August 5th, 2016
Contract Type FiledAugust 5th, 2016During the development of the Basin-Wide Water Management Plan for the Lower Platte Basin, calculations of water supply and demand have shown an excess of supply on average over a 20 year period of both wet and dry cycles. However, the seven NRDs have also acknowledged that not all years are average, and when serious drought occurs (even for a short period like 2012) something must be done to curb the effect very low flows in the Platte River can have upon everyone’s water supply, including municipal supplies like Lincoln and Omaha.
