The Price of Water

Visit netNebraska.org/priceofwater

Nebraska has been called the "Saudi Arabia of Water."

For most of us, we don't think about where our water comes from when we turn on the tap. We just know clean, clear water is there whenever we need it.




"The Price of Water" explores how Nebraskans are connected to this resource that supports our lives, examines where our water comes from, who uses it and for what purposes, and what people are doing to sustain Nebraska's water for the future.

Segments include the formation of the Ogallala Aquifer and the connection between ground and surface water; the development of the Platte River; the effect of ancient drought in the Sand Hills; how water supports farmers, city folks and nature; and what is being done to protect this vital, limited resource.

Water is the best place to dump polluted chemicals the oceans and rivers hide the evidence and save industry large sums of money on disposal. Paper work and manifests are regularly altered to show proper disposal but chemicals are still dumped nation wide on regular basis. Just go out during a rain storm in summer when it has not rained for weeks and look carefully under any tanker trucks you are close to some will have valves open dumping streams of liquid waste that is hard to detect in rain.
