Groundwater levels in Nebraska continue to recover from the 2012 drought.
An annual report from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) shows water levels on average rose more than eight inches from the spring of 2015 to the spring of 2016. UNL survey geologist Aaron Young says that brings the statewide average back within two feet of pre-2012 levels.
“On average, wells across the state are showing a decline of about 1.8 feet since before 2012,” says Young.
