Western Water Use Management (WWUM) Modeling is an effort designed to provide the North Platte Natural Resources District, South Platte Natural Resources District, and Nebraska Department of Natural Resources with a set of crop consumptive use, ground water, and surface water modeling tools to aid in management of river, stream, and aquifer systems within the modeling area. This document serves as a chronological index of the various reports and documentation, including authorship where appropriate, that have been completed for this effort.
