The study in Nebraska is part of a research program resulting from problems related to declining water and energy resources in the underground aduifer system that extends over portio&s of fix states, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas, said Gayle H. Lewis, Chief of NNRD's Planning Division. The Ogallala Auifer supports one of the largest agricultural economies in the world. The 180,000 square miles in the study area includes about 9.6 million acres of irrigated cropland. About one half of these irrigated acres are in Nebraska which is one of the leading states in corn and beet production. Goals of the study are understanding of the effect of future declines of groundwater and investigation of actions to stretch the useful life of the Ogallala auifer. Primary objectives of the study are to determine potential development elterna lives for the Hih Plains; to identify and describe the poHdes and actions required to carry out prcsishg development strateg ies, and to tvtk&te the local, state and national kspHcatio&s of application or absence cf these altsr&stives.. The alternative strategies may include: n -ti ti i j a a a n 1. Water demand management through full application of currently accepted conserva tion practices and management technology; 2. Water demand management through comprehensive application of advanced technology in water and agricultural management; 3. Local water supply aug mentation; 4. Water supply augmentation through minor intereasin transfers, and 5. Water supply augmentation through major importation schemes. Lewis explained that the Nebraska Natural Resources Commission is in charge of the management of the study. It is contracting with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Water Resources Center Energy Research and Development Center and Conservation and Survey Division to assist with various phases of the research work.
