Abstract

Hydrogeologic Study and Groundwater Sustainability Risk Evaluation
Track: Water Resources
Authors: Mike Plante, Roscoe Sopiwnik

This study was conducted for a large natural resource district in southeastern Nebraska. Public data, lithology from over 10,000 geologic logs, and well performance data from over 6,000 wells were evaluated. Major aquifers, hydrostratigaphic units, and groundwater flow systems were identified. This culminated in a groundwater sustainability risk evaluation to identify areas of potential over-appropriation and served as a tool to assist with future resource management and sustainability goals.
