Groundwater and the Pipeline

With all the controversy about the Keystone XL pipeline swirling in the state,  people following the debate may be interested in these state and federal documents available online. The 1986 edition of the Groundwater Atlas of Nebraska   has been added to the state epubs collection.   The atlas, published by the UNL Conservation and Survey Division (now part of the School of Natural Resources)  features maps and narrative showing groundwater reservoirs, rock formations, transmissivity, depth to water, dissolved solids, irrigation, etc. And of course the final environmental impact statement on the pipeline is available on the U.S. Department of State website.  At a daunting 8 volumes it is not for the faint of heart, but a 27-page executive summary is also available.
