Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The drainage area of the Nemaha River and other tributaries is located in the southeastern corner of Nebraska and the northeastern portion of Kansas. The drainage area begins at the confluence of the Platte and the Missouri Rivers and proceeds downstream approximately 105 miles to the Kansas state line. It consists of direct tributaries to the Missouri River totaling some 3,377 square miles or 2,161,500 acres. This includes all or portions of the following eight counties in Nebraska: Cass, Gage, Johnson, Lancaster, Nemaha, Otoe, Pawnee, and Richardson and portions of Brown, Marshall, and Nemaha Counties in Kansas. This survey report, prepared by the Economic Research Service, Forest Service and Soil Conservation Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), is for the purpose of promoting the conservation, utilization, and development of the water and related land resources in the Nebraska portion of the Nemaha River Basin. The main objectives of this cooperative study are to: (1) inventory the natural resources of the basin; (2) analyze the basin's economy relative to present conditions, historic trends, and projections; (3) determine the cause, extent, and frequency of the basin's resource problems; (4) determine the present and future need for development based on resource problems and projected economic activity; (5) describe the pertinent existing water and related land resource projects and programs; (6) describe the physical potential or capability of the basin to supply water and related land resources for development to meet identifiable needs; and (7) describe the opportunities for development through USDA projects and programs and determine their impacts upon the basin.
