Bentall, R. and others. 1975. Hydrology, Nebraska Mid-State Division and Associated Areas (OFR-13). 256 pp. + 22 over-size maps. Description: The purpose of this report is to present data on, and analyses of, hydrologic conditions and water-resource development trends pertinent to future studies of the environmental impacts of the proposed Nebraska Mid-State Division of the Pick-Sloan Missouri River Basin. Described in the report are the following: the Platte River drainage basin with emphasis on streamflow characteristics in the Nebraska part of the basin (exclusive of areas drained by the Loup and Elkhorn Rivers and Shell and Salt Creeks); the ground-water resources of the Nebraska Mid-State Division; the water-quality characteristics of streams and ground water in the Nebraska part of the Platte River drainage basin; the climate of the Nebraska part of the Platte River basin with emphasis on the Mid-State Division; and the legal constraints relating to water-resource development in Nebraska.
