  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The precipitation&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Nebraska&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;has been considerably less than normal&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;the last four years, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;consequence the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;ground&lt;span&gt;‐&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;level&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;many parts of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;State&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;has declined to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;a&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;marked extent. Moreover,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;some parts of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Nebraska&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;ground&lt;span&gt;‐&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;level&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;has declined as the result of land‐drainage, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;other parts it has risen as the result of irrigation with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;diverted from streams. These changes&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;ground&lt;span&gt;‐&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;level&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;produced by drainage, irrigation, and decreased precipitation have caused wells to fail, streams to cease flowing, lakes to become dry, and land to become&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;‐logged. Consequently, interest&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;fluctuations of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;ground&lt;span&gt;‐&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;level&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;has greatly increased, and the need of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;a&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;systematic collection of base‐data for the future study of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;ground&lt;span&gt;‐&lt;/span&gt;water&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;problems has been recognized.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
