    Background Information

    The Papio NRD is beginning the process to update its GMP. Each NRD is required by Nebraska statutes to adopt a GMP that outlines long-term goals, strategies and actions to monitor and maintain groundwater quality and quantity in an NRD. A GMP should:

    • Be based on the best available information on the quantity and quality of groundwater
    • Reflect the unique hydrogeology within each District

    For more information about the Papio NRD, including what services they provide, visit www.papionrd.org.

  • For more information on how groundwater is a part of your life, please answer the following questions.

  • What type of groundwater user are you? (choose all that apply)

  • What We’re Doing and Where We Want to Go

    The Papio NRD last updated its GMP in 2018. The updated plan will be based on the best available information on the quality and quantity of groundwater and reflect the unique hydrogeology within the Papio NRD. The primary purposes of the GMP are:

    • Describe the resources available
    • Describe the current demands for groundwater
    • Describe contamination levels affecting water quality
    • Define the methods that the Papio NRD will use to oversee the sustainable use of groundwater resources

    Ultimately, the Papio NRD wants the GMP to:

    • Incorporate input from every groundwater user
    • Use the latest available data and technology
    • Consider the latest research on public health, water quality, and healthy soils
    • Combine the latest management strategies with the best available information

    The updated GMP needs to reflect existing Papio NRD partnerships and water management plans, including the Lower Platte River Drought Plan and Basin Plan, as well as the Papio NRD's Integrated Managment Plan (all available on www.papionrd.org).
