Years of collaboration between the Lower Elkhorn Natural Resources District and the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources is about to pay off.
The two entities have been working together for several years on a voluntary integrated management plan, or IMP, for the Lower Elkhorn NRD that is slated to be ready for consideration by the district’s board sometime this summer.
The plan is designed to deal with new groundwater development in the NRD over the next five years without harming existing groundwater users.
