North Platte system storage favorable for irrigators
Published Friday, November 20, 2009 at 04:13 PM
Along with above average inflows, John Lawson of the Bureau of Reclamation credits the water management of the irrigators for the increase in water stored. During the drought Lawson says "out of survival" irrigators held off irrigating early on in the irrigation season as well as cutting off irrigation in September.
Lawson says today the managers and boards are also far different than they were historically because they were required to change during the drought and they cautious knowing that the water supply situation can quickly change. Lawson says it too early to predict the water supply outlook for 2010, but with the October snow storms will aide the available water next spring.
