(KEARNEY HUB) The Kearney Hub reports, "It has been a long time since Platte Basin water managers talked about high Lake McConaughy inflows in July or conceded that their estimates can't keep up with actual water conditions.
'Those numbers just continue to grow,' Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District Civil Engineer Cory Steinke said Tuesday in his Lake McConaughy report at the Central board meeting in Holdrege. 'We were going down at this time last year.'
Nebraska's largest lake held more than 1.5 million acre-feet of water Tuesday morning and was 88 percent of full volume. The lake is more than 24.6 feet higher and holds nearly 600,000 a-f more water than at this time last year."
