Water Supplies/Restrictions
Communities and individuals rely on a dependable, quality water supply to meet their domestic, agricultural, and industrial water needs. Unfortunately, there’s not always enough water to go around and, at times, restrictions are necessary to keep from depleting the water system. There are several resources that provide current information on the state of water supplies and restrictions in the Republican River Basin.

The BOR provides news releases and reports on current water supply issues and contracts within their area. The site houses information on current projects and recreational updates.
Bureau of Reclamation Nebraska-Kansas Office
The BOR provides news releases and reports on current water supply issues and contracts within the Republican River Basin.
They also monitor the current levels and allocations of many reservoirs within the basin.
Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services Water Conservation and Drought Information

Drought Impact Reporter
The National Drought Mitigation Center maintains a national archive of news stories and reports on the effects of drought, which is updated on a daily basis.
