The collapse of an irrigation tunnel in southeastern Wyoming could cost Nebraska and Wyoming roughly 89 million dollars in economic losses if affected crops are a total loss, according to a report by university specialists in the two states.
The tunnel collapse and subsequent canal failure in mid-July disrupted water deliveries to about 107,000 acres of cropland in Goshen County, Wyoming and Scotts Bluff County, Nebraska.
