Book Bazile Groundwater Management Area Plan

Download or read book Bazile Groundwater Management Area Plan written by Nebraska. Department of Environmental Quality and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Bazile Groundwater Management Area (BGMA) is affected by high levels of nitrates in the drinking water supply. All BGMA residents rely on groundwater as their drinking water source. The BGMA is located in northeast Nebraska and encompasses twenty one townships or 756 square miles. The BGMA lies within three counties: Antelope, Knox, and Pierce and parts of four Natural Resource Districts (NRDs): Lewis and Clark (LCNRD), Lower Elkhorn (LENRD), Lower Niobrara (LNNRD), and Upper Elkhorn (UENRD). Precipitation and irrigation runoff feed into three major river basins: Elkhorn, Missouri, and Niobrara as well as parts of three different groundwater regions: Sandhills, North-Central Tableland, and Northeast Nebraska Glacial Drift" (page 6) . . . . "Each of the BGMA NRDs expressed interest in developing a master plan for the Bazile area on which future projects or other actions will be based. Municipalities in the area are also interested stakeholders as drinking water providers for the perspective entity, whereby all stakeholders had an an opportunity to identify concerns" (page 8).

Book Nitrate Dynamics and Source Within Nested Watersheds of an Agricultural Stream Nebraska USA

Download or read book Nitrate Dynamics and Source Within Nested Watersheds of an Agricultural Stream Nebraska USA written by Galen I. S. Richards and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bazile Creek flows north through Northeast Nebraska, entering the Missouri River just east of Niobrara, NE. The headwaters of the stream lie within the Bazile Groundwater Management Area (BGMA), a 1958 km2 region created in 2016 characterized by nonpointsource groundwater nitrate contamination. Elevated nitrate concentrations have been seen in the management area since the 1980s, and over time groundwater nitrate concentrations have continued to rise and affect an increasing number of wells. The BGMA contains parts of the Lower Niobrara, Lewis and Clark, Upper Elkhorn, and Lower Elkhorn Natural Resources Districts (NRDs). These NRDs have been working together to both monitor groundwater nitrate levels through periodic well sampling and curb increasing groundwater nitrate trends by educating landowners on methods to reduce fertilizer nitrogen loss through leaching and runoff. Although groundwater nitrate sampling in the Bazile Creek watershed has been continuous, surface water nitrate sampling has been infrequent and tributaries to Bazile Creek have never been sampled. Bazile Creek is a strongly gaining stream, indicating that a large percentage of its flow is derived from groundwater discharge. Nitrate concentrations in Bazile Creek have been slowly increasing, and nitrate in discharging groundwater is suspected to be the cause. This has led to questions about nitrate concentrations in Bazile Creek over time as well as throughout the watershed. This includes tributaries to Bazile Creek, which may all have similar nitrate concentrations or could vary between each other significantly. The source of nitrate entering Bazile Creek has not been determined, however it is assumed to be nitrogen containing fertilizers applied to the many agricultural fields nearby. A large quantity of well and excessively drained soils in the area indicate that fertilizer loss through leaching is probable. Livestock are present throughout the Bazile Creek watershed as well, indicating that manure-derived nitrate could also be making its way into the stream. Further complicating determinations on nitrate source is its potential seasonality, with manure-derived nitrate inputs being greatest in the spring and summer when frequent rainstorms create runoff that can transport manure off of fields into streams. This thesis aims to answer questions about nitrate dynamics and source within the headwaters of the Bazile Creek watershed. Surface water nitrate samples were collected over a period of 15 months from five tributaries and three locations on the main channel. Source seasonality was investigated through the collection of seasonal and rain event nitrate isotope samples, which also provided insight on denitrification rates. Results were then compared to subwatershed characteristics such as total area, land use, and soil drainage. Watershed-scale seasonal trends in discharge and precipitation were also investigated. These comparisons allow for conclusions to be made on nitrate source, primary transport pathways, and concentration seasonality.

Book Groundwater Management in the West

Download or read book Groundwater Management in the West written by Jeffrey S. Ashley and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the greatest conundrums facing the arid western United States is the availability, use, and quality of groundwater. In large sections of the West, groundwater is the only dependable source of water for agricultural production and home consumption. Yet many of the aquifers are being depleted at a rate that will suck them dry within a century. Furthermore, dependence upon groundwater in many areas will only increase in the future. This dependence is already having serious consequences for small towns on the Great Plains. Faced with growing costs associated with deeper wells and the need for ever more advanced technology for extracting water, these towns find they lack the resources to maintain current agricultural practices. ø In this timely assessment of the West?s groundwater resources, the authors provide a detailed overview of groundwater management in the Western states. The authors present for each state the various management strategies, laws, and political realities that have made groundwater appropriation such a volatile subject. They also suggest possible difficulties that states and regions might face under current groundwater policies. By examining separate cases and viewing the West as a whole, the authors are able to identify not only the most pressing problems but also the most appropriate management techniques for protecting water supplies for future use.
