Innovations in Integrated Water Management: A Nebraska Case Study

In September 2023, NOAA's National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) hosted a webinar to highlight the work that Jennifer Schellpeper, Water Planning Division Manager with the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, and her colleagues have been doing on their approach to integrated water management in the state of Nebraska. Nebraska's approach integrates planning for hydrologically connected groundwater and surface water. The presentation also highlighted how drought planning is incorporated into the integrated water management plans and showcased resources and tools Nebraska water managers use for decision-making in various river basins across the state.
