Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Inside Possible Nebraska-Colorado Water War WWW.WESTWORD.COM Nebraska claims its water rights are being threatened. Quote Fights over water rights are as old as America, and a new one appears to be brewing between Colorado and Nebraska over the South Platte River Compact, signed 99 years ago. On January 10, Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts, joined by the state's attorney general and members of the so-called "Star Wars" special legislative committee, announced that "Nebraska intends to take action to protect its entitlements of South Platte River water by constructing a major canal in parts of Colorado and southwest Nebraska," according to a news release from the governor's office. The project will "support multiple uses, including irrigation, power production and municipal water supplies," it continues, and is intended to "protect Nebraska's South Platte River, which [is] being threatened by planned developments in Colorado."
