Description: Fully Appropriated Areas are determined by the Water Planning section at the Department of Water, Energy and Environment (DWEE), and utilize section lines to create the boundaries for the areas. The Ground Water Management and Protection Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 46-701 through 46-753) outlines the requirements for DWEE to annually evaluate the expected long-term availability of hydrologically connected water supplies. This evaluation is intended to identify when existing water uses may have insufficient water supplies now or in the future, such that integrated management planning efforts are required to be initiated. Completion of the annual evaluation is not required for river basins, subbasins, or reaches for which an integrated management plan is either being developed or already exists.
