Kansas Returns to the Supreme Court
On Tuesday, May 4, Kansas returned to the United States Supreme Court and asked the Court to find Nebraska in contempt and to appoint a River Master to enforce the claims Kansas has made against Nebraska.
Kansas has asked that all wells within a couple of miles of either side of the stream (about 1/3 of the wells in the Basin) be shut off in water short years. Nebraska argues that this is overkill and will give Kansas much more water than it is entitled to.
