Streamflow Depletion Investigations in the Republican River Basin: Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas
J. ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, Vol. 27(3) 251-263, 1999 STREAMFLOW DEPLETION INVESTIGATIONS IN THE REPUBLICAN RIVER BASIN: COLORADO, NEBRASKA, AND KANSAS JOZSEF SZILAGYI University of Nebraska–Lincoln ABSTRACT Water is a critical resource in the Great Plains. This study examines the changes in long-term mean annual streamflow in the Republican River basin. In the past decades this basin, shared by three states, Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas, displayed decreased streamflow volumes as the river enters Kansas across the Nebraska-Kansas border compared to values preceding the 1950s. A recent lawsuit filed by Kansas challenges water appropriations in Nebraska. More than half of the source area for this water, however, lies outside of Nebraska. Today a higher percentage of the annual flow is generated within Nebraska (i.e., 75% of the observed mean annual stream- flow at the NE-KS border) than before the 1950s (i.e., 66% of the observed mean annual streamflow) indicating annual streamflow has decreased more dramatically outside of Nebraska than within the state in the past fifty years. INTRODUCTION The Republican River basin’s 64,796 km2 drainage area is shared by three states: Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas (see Figure 1). Nebraska has the largest single share of the drainage area, 25,154 km2 (39% of total); Colorado can claim about 20,000 km2 (31%), while the rest, about 19,583 km2 (30%), belongs to Kansas [1], from which about 12,800 km2 (20%) lies upstream of Hardy, near the Nebraska-Kansas border. Exact figures for the contributing drainage areas (portions of the drainage areas that actually contribute water to the stream) are hard to obtain because these areas in the headwater sections of the basin have been shrinking constantly in the past fifty years. -

History of Harlan County Foreward
HISTORY OF HARLAN COUNTY FOREWARD 1870 - 1967 I have written a brief History of Harlan County and also include stories of early pioneers and reminiscences of my own. I am indebted to my brother, E.E. McKee, for much of my information, to attorney D.A. Russell for the use of his copy of early Biographies of Harlan County and to the United State Corps of Engineers for the facts concerning the Harlan Dam and Reservoir. I am not a historian, please pardon any errors or omissions. Jean McKee Rogers (Mrs. Thomas C.)

It is bounded on the west by Furnas County., on the north by Phelps County, on the east by Franklin County and on the south by the State of Kansas. It is twenty-four miles square and is divided into sixteen townships namely Springrove, Albany, Scandanavia, Antelope, Emerson, Rubin, Washington, Turkey Creek, Sappa, Orleans, Alma, Mullally, Fairfield, Eldorado, Prairie Dog and Republican City. Each township is six miles square. The average altitude of the County is 2,000 feet above sea level. -

The total area of Harlan County is 574 square miles. The Republican River traverses through the county and the Harlan County Reservoir is in the southeast corner. This lake is Nebraska’s second largest lake with 13,250 acres of water surface and 75 miles of shoreline. Other water bodies include Deep Creek, Spring Creek, Foster Creek, School Creek, Milrose Creek, Flag Creek, Rope Creek, Prairie Dog Creek, and Turkey Creek. Climate The table below compares climate indicators with those of the entire state. Climate data is helpful in determining if certain events are higher or lower than normal. For example, if the high temperatures in the month of July are running well into the 90s, high heat events may be more likely which could impact vulnerable populations.

1991 Nebraska Water Resources Development
Water Resources Development US Army Corps of Engineers in Nebraska 1991 Missouri River Division This publication is authorized by the Secretary of the Army as required by PL 99-662 re tAtt ! 9 ‘9 ,/ US Army Corps of Engineers To Our Readers: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has a long and proud history of applying its expertise in engineering and related disciplines to meet the Nation’s needs. Over the years, those needs have evolved from such 19th cen tury activities as exploration, pathfinding, and lighthouse construction to such modern missions as hazardous and toxic waste removal and environmental improvement. The central focus of its Civil Works mission, how ever, has, from its earliest days, been development of the Nation’s water resources. The water resource projects, developed by the Corps of Engineers, in cooperation with State and local project sponsors, have proven themselves time and again as wise investments of public funds, returning to the public in benefits — low cost transportation, flood damages prevented, etc. — far more than their cost to plan, build, and operate. As a result, the Civil Works program enjoys a high degree of credibility within the Admin istration and with Congress. With a program of more than $3.5 billion in Fiscal Year 1991, the Civil Works program was one of the very few “domestic discretionary” activities of the Federal government to receive an increase in funding that year. Yet, proud as we are of the respect this program commands within the Federal government, we are even prouder of the trust that our partners — the States, local governments, port authorities, water management districts, and other local project sponsors — place in us. -
