The Niobrara River of Nebraska is a geologically, ecologically, and economically significant resource. State has recognized the need to better manage surface- ground-water resources so they are sustainable in long term. In cooperation with Game Parks Commission, U.S. Geological Survey investigating hydrogeomorphic settings hydraulic geometry assist characterizing types broad-scale physical habitat attributes that may be importance ecological river system. This report includes an inventory...
The lower Platte River, Nebraska, provides drinking water, irrigation and in-stream flows for recreation, wildlife habitat, vital habitats several threatened endangered species. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Lower River Corridor Alliance (LPRCA) developed site-specific regression models water-quality constituents at four sites (Shell Creek near Columbus, Nebraska [USGS site 06795500]; Elkhorn Waterloo, Nebr. 06800500]; Salt Ashland, 06805000]; Louisville, 06805500])...

As sediment removed from storage, use the socioeconomic or ecological benefit could potentially defray some costs its removal. Rivers that transport...
