Water-level contours along the Lower Platte and Lower Elkhorn Rivers, Nebraska, 2016-2017

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2020-08-24T00:00:00Z
This data set contains two sets of water-level contours that represent interpreted water-levels for an area between the Platte and Elkhorn Rivers upstream of their confluence. The contours are informed by surface-water and groundwater-level data collected during a synoptic water-level survey completed during a low-groundwater demand period in fall of 2016 and a synoptic water-level survey completed during a high-groundwater demand period in summer of 2017. Additional data and interpretations of this dataset (published in SIR XXXX) and the data included in this Data Release are intended to inform water managers of the effect of groundwater demand and flow conditions on groundwater movement and interaction with surface-water for the area near and immediately upstream from the confluence of the lower Platte and Elkhorn Rivers.
