LINCOLN, Neb. Groundwater levels rose significantly across most of Nebraska from January 2019 to January 2020, and the state received so much precipitation over that period that a new color was added to the 2019-20 precipitation map included in the recently released 2020 Nebraska Groundwater-Level Monitoring Report.
“We ran out of blues, so we had to go to purple,” said Aaron Young, a geologist with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s School of Natural Resources and lead author of the report.
Over that period, Young said, 159 of 163 weather stations across Nebraska measured more precipitation than the 30-year normal. While most of the state was bathed one shade of blue or another to reflect bountiful totals, the purple dot was added in Cherry County, where 212% of normal precipitation fell.

The Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District’s board of directors voted Monday to proceed to Phase 2 of a study of potential consolidation with the Dawson Public Power District.
In December, the boards of both organizations agreed to share the costs of a consultant to conduct a phased study and determine whether a consolidation would be an economic and strategic fit that benefits both entities, customers and stakeholders.
Phase 1 of the study, conducted by Power Systems Engineering of Madison, Wisc., yielded favorable data that indicates a good strategic fit and positive financial advantages resulting from a consolidation, Central spokesman Jeff Buettner said.

CASPER, Wyo. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department said on Monday, April 5 that with the arrival of spring, they are “amping up fish stocking throughout the state.”
In 2020, Game and Fish stocked about 7.1 million fish in Wyoming waters. Game and Fish Assistant Culture Supervisor Travis Trimble said the 2021 stocking plans are similar to last year’s efforts.
Most of the fish will be stocked into large reservoirs and other standing waters with Game and Fish planning to stock over 300 standing water bodies in the state this year.
