Overview:
As hydrogeology varies widely across the United States — and as primary jurisdiction over groundwater development rests with the states — each is unique. This webinar series explores the issues encountered in each of the 50 states — one at a time.
Dr. Jesse Korus, with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will discuss:
- Paradigm of abundant water: High Plains/Ogallala Aquifer supplies groundwater for nation’s most heavily irrigated state
- Paradox of population: 50% of people live in three counties in groundwater-scarce eastern Nebraska
- Persistent nitrate problem: 1 in 5 wells contain N concentrations >10 mg/L
- Progress toward protection: innovative efforts in mapping, modeling, and management aim to protect and sustain groundwater
The Hydrogeology of Nebraska webinar focuses on the state’s:
- Major aquifers
- Physical and geologic properties
- Groundwater use and availability
- Groundwater quality and contamination
- Surface water/groundwater interactions
- Groundwater management issues
