Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The Niobrara River Basin study included the adjacent drainage of Ponca Creek, tributary to the Missouri River. The combined area drained by these two streams is approximately 13,866 square miles, or some 8,874,300 acres. About 84 percent of this area, or 7,444,600 acres, is located in 15 northern Nebraska counties extending from the Wyoming state line on the west to an eastern point where the Niobrara River enters the Missouri River near the village of Niobrara, Nebraska. The main objectives of the USDA study are to (1) inventory the natural resources of the basin; (2) analyze the basin's economy relative to present conditions, historic trends, and projections; (3) determine the cause, extent, and frequency of the basin's resource problems; (4) determine the present and future need for development based on resource problems and projected economic activity; (5) describe the pertinent existing water and related land resource projects and programs; (6) describe the physical potential or capability of the basin to supply water and related land resources for development to meet identifiable needs; and (7) describe the opportunities for development through USDA projects and programs and determine their estimated impacts upon the basin.
