Nebraska Water Detailed Guide

• Water Nebraska forms are documents used in the state of Nebraska to manage water-related matters. These forms are designed to help individuals, businesses, and organizations comply with the regulations set forth by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in order to obtain necessary permits and approvals for water-related activities.

• The main types of Water Nebraska forms include:

  • 1. Application for Water Appropriation — This form is used to apply for a permit to appropriate water from a surface or groundwater source. It requires detailed information about the proposed water use, including the purpose, location, and estimated water quantities.

  • 2. Well Registration Form — This form is required for anyone drilling a new well or modifying an existing well. It provides vital information about the well, such as its location, depth, and intended use, and helps the DNR maintain a comprehensive database of wells in Nebraska.

  • 3. Water Transfer Form — This form is used when transferring a water appropriation permit from one location to another. It requires details about the original and proposed locations, the reason for the transfer, and any necessary supporting documentation.

  • 4. Groundwater Management Area Reporting Form — This form is specific to designated Groundwater Management Areas (Gas) in Nebraska. It requires farmers or irrigation districts within these areas to report their annual groundwater use, irrigation practices, and other relevant data to the NDNR.
