Peak discharges were estimated at return intervals ranging from 2- to 500-years in Nebraska. Flow data from gaging stations located in or within 50 miles of Nebraska were collected. Regional regression analysis, using weighted-least squares (WLS) regression and data from 273 gaging stations, were used to develop equations for seven hydrologic regions. The WLS regression accounted for the differences in record lengths of the annual peak streamflows between sites. Contributing drainage areas ranged from 0.42 to 6,230 mi2. The equations can be used to estimate peak discharges for selected return periods at sites without flow data. Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) were the primary data used to extract basin characteristics. The DEMs used in this project are based on 30 m by 30 m data spacing intervals with a Universal Transverse Mercator projection, and are commercially available from the USGS. Morphometric basin characteristics were extracted using ArcInfo software. The DEMs reduced processing time and improved the accuracy of the physical basin characteristics. Soil characteristics were used to improve the accuracy of the regression equations while precipitation data were found to be of lower statistical importance than other characteristics. Regression equations were developed for seven hydrologic regions in Nebraska. Two sets of regression equations were developed for each region: one representative of basins with drainage areas of less than 10 mi2 and one for the complete range of drainage areas. The standard error of estimate for the 10- and 25-year frequency equations ranged from 24 to 93 percent for the complete range of drainage areas. The equations for basins with areas of less than 10 mi2 had a standard error of estimate for the 10- and 25-year return period of 22 to 75 percent. Based on standard error estimates and comparison with other methods, the regression equations worked best for regions located in eastern Nebraska. The equations for western Nebraska regions do not estimate peak flows as accurately because of insufficient peak flow data and high spatial variability of basin attributes. 17. Key Words 18.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.
