Water and Drought Planning Home
Water and drought planning are essential for ensuring a sustainable water supply.
Water planning will help outline a path for future water development, while drought planning identifies strategies to help prevent and respond to water shortages.
Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska all have drought plans, which outline actions required to help secure the state’s water resources. An increasing number of states,
river basin associations, communities, and agricultural producers are undertaking similar planning processes.
There are also water management plans, compacts, and management groups that have been developed within the Republican River Basin.
All of these plans are essential for fostering a coordinated approach to water and basin development for sustained growth and to defend against times of shortage.
