(KEARNEY HUB) The Kearney Hub reports, "Central Platte Natural Resources District is eight years ahead of its responsibility to restore Platte River flows to 1997 levels.
'We’re really in good shape,' CPNRD General Manager Ron Bishop said Thursday at his board’s meeting in Grand Island. 'We’re actually eight years ahead on putting water back into the river from where we said we’d be.'
The success comes from an early start on water banking. The district has paid landowners along the river in parts of Dawson and Buffalo counties to permanently retire irrigation on some acres. The water saved is credited to the river."
