State officials decide there's water left in the Platte after all
March 30, 2009

The Nebraska DNR has changed course and revised a previous determination that the Platte River was fully appropriated, saying now that the Lower Platte River basin still has some excess capacity. The state's new determination might leave room for additional irrigation uses if local natural resource districts approve. Irrigation makes up the majority of use of Nebraska's water resources; municipal water supplies use only about 3% of the total.
