Fully appropriated, from border to border
December 18, 2008

The Platte River is now officially designated as "fully appropriated" or "over-appropriated" from one side of Nebraska to the other. The Nebraska Department of Natural Resources just made the preliminary designation, and with the new designation, most of Nebraska is now designated as using most of its natural water resources. Municipal water systems are still likely to be allowed to drill replacement wells, but agricultural and industrial water users may find themselves restricted.
