Gov. Pete Rickets has declared July as “Celebrate Nebraska Water Month.” The proclamation recognizes a joint effort by various Nebraska organizations to encourage residents to study, appreciate and enjoy Nebraska’s water resources.“Celebrate Nebraska Water” was launched by Humanities Nebraska with the opening of “Water/Ways,” a new traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian that looks at water as an essential resource and a source for inspiration, spirituality, recreation and political power. Through the “Celebrate Nebraska Water” initiative, Humanities Nebraska, the six exhibition sites and collaborating organizations are working to bring this message to all Nebraskans.
