Water (Continued From Page One) Committee hearing on L. B. 769, Friday, stated "that the people of the Cass County area have had experience with heavy d r a w-d own of underground water." He reported "that numerous wells in the farm areas had gone dry in recent years causing great distress and expense among farm owners and ten ants." He also called attention to "the already low water level In the Platte basin from present draw-down revealed by sand pit water levels and death of nu merous trees in large pumping areas." "However," he said, "the greatest danger In this bill is that It sets a precedent for the diversion of water from one watershed to another throughout the entire State of Nebraska which could be dangerous legis lation for future generations." He also said that this legisla tion would take from Platts mouth, Cass and Sarpy counties its greatest Industrial potential. "Water Is the one big selling point this area has for large In dustries desiring to locate in the Plattsmouth area. Loss of this potential through heavy draw down of underground water could write finish to any efforts this community might make in attracting plants," he said. Steve Davis, president of the Plattsmouth Industrial Develop ment Corporation, also spoke in opposition to the bill. He called attention to the failure of wells in many sections of the county and on farms under his manage ment, all occurring since the lo cating of one large wa'er pump ing plant in the watershed. He said that the establishment of a 60-well field adjacent to Plattsmouth was of great con cern and that no or.e In this two county area had been consul'ed relative to such proposed legis lation. He too, called attention to the diversion of water out of one watershed lr.to another, es tablishing a precedent that could cpen the floodga'es to a mass of applications throughout the state. Plattsmouth Chamber of Com- i merce, wi h the endorsement of - ! other opponents to the bill, rec ommended the following safe guards: 1. A limit on the Number of wells. 2. A limit on the amount of water that can be taken by a person, corporation, company, or district. 3. Less power Invested In the Director of Water Resources. 4. A limit on the distance wa'er can be transported. 5. A limit on the use for which water can be taken. 8. And, Above all, the follow ing amendment to L. B. 769: "No water taken by pump, well, or other means, or directly from any stream may be diverted out of the watershed of that stream; and, all water taken from a stream in any watershed must be returned to that watershed." Following the hearing Friday, Senator Arnold Ruhnke, chair man, stated that L. B. 769 would be held pending further Investi gation at the request of the Pub lic Works Committee.
