It is springtime and although the weather seems to be indecisive the crews here at the Nemaha NRD are busy with all the activities that spring brings. If you remember our article from groundwater appreciation week, the Nemaha NRD has 119 wells they take water level readings from each spring and fall. Around the office this data collection time is called well blitz. Each one of the field representatives is responsible for taking measurements of groundwater elevations and recording them. Once the data is collected, it is put into a database. As you could assume, the dry weather has groundwater levels trending a little lower than they were last spring.

Electrical and trash services resumed at the Nemaha NRD recreation areas on April 1st. Staff are busy handling a steady stream of park permits and numerous questions about the facilities from the public. If you haven’t had a chance to purchase a permit yet stop by the office, visit a park (use blue envelope), or click the orange “Order Park Permit” button at the top right corner of our website.
