Abstract

Hydrogeologic Assessment and Groundwater Development Potential
Track: Infrastructure
Authors: Mike Plante, Roscoe Sopiwnik

This study was conducted for a large natural resources district in southeastern Nebraska. Public data, lithology from approximately 5,000 geologic logs, and well performance data from over 2,000 wells were evaluated. Major aquifers, hydrostratigaphic units, and groundwater flow systems were identified. This culminated in a groundwater development potential evaluation and map book, which serve as a tool to assist with future groundwater resource management and sustainability goals.
