	Republican River Compact (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Article II The Basin is all the area in Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska, which is naturally drained by the Republican River, and its tributaries, to its junction with the Smoky Hill River in Kansas.
		The main stem of the Republican River extends from the junction near Haigler, Nebraska, of its North Fork and the Arikaree River, to its junction with Smoky Hill River near Junction City, Kansas.
		The North Fork of the Republican River in Nebraska and the main stem of the Republican River between the junction of the North Fork and Arikaree River and the lowest crossing of the river at the Nebraska-Kansas state line and the small tributaries thereof, 87,700 acre-feet.

		Most of the Missouri River, through the Dakotas to its confluence with the Mississippi River, is controlled by a series of large dams and reservoirs constructed between the 1930's and 1950's.
		Maps and notes from the journals of Lewis and Clark (1804-06) suggest that the present distribution and abundance of cottonwoods along the Missouri River within the study reach are generally similar to presettlement conditions.
		In the Colorado River, the link of floodplain groundwater with instream flows is illustrated by the association of river discharge and fluctuations in water table depth in the adjacent floodplain (Fig.

	KGS--Kansas River Corridor--Geology
		The nature of the sediment in the Kansas River is a reflection of the geologic composition of its drainage basin.
		The Kansas River flows along the south edge of an area that physiographically is referred to as the "dissected till plains." The Kansan glacier advanced into this area several hundred thousand years ago and left behind an assortment of sediments.
		The Kansas River may have originated as an ice-margin stream flowing eastward carrying meltwater and sediment along the edge of the glacier into the Missouri River, another ice-margin stream that closely follows the edge of glaciation in its course across the state of Missouri.

	Arikaree River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Arikaree River is a tributary of the North Fork of the Republican River that flows mostly in eastern Colorado in the United States.
		In its lowest reach it flows for about 3 miles through the extreme northwestern corner of Kansas and for about 10 miles through southwestern Nebraska, where it joins the North Fork of the Republican River near the town of Haigler.
		This river has the added distinction of being the lowest point in Colorado just before it flows out of the state.

	No. 126, Original: Kansas v. Nebraska - Amicus (On Motion for Leave to File)
		The Republican River Basin is a 24,900-square-mile watershed, approximately 430 miles in length, that encompasses parts of northeastern Colorado (7,700 square miles), southwestern Nebraska (9,700 square miles), and northern Kansas (7,500 square miles).
		The Republican River Compact imposes limitations on the quantity of water that Colorado and Nebraska may divert from the Republican River and its tributaries, based on an apportionment of the "virgin water supply." In accordance with Article IX of the Compact, the States have designated officials to administer the Compact's allocation limits.
		Kansas and Nebraska disagree, at a fundamental level, on the meaning of the Republican River Compact, and none of the alternative fora that Nebraska identifies is capable of resolving that interstate dispute.

		The study site is the Arikaree River Basin in Yuma County, CO., which is representative of many agricultural areas that extract water from the High Plains Aquifer.
		Flow in the Arikaree River is entirely sustained by the Ogallala Aquifer and it is also the last stronghold in Colorado of the brassy minnow, a state-listed threatened fish species.
		To sustain both a precarious regional agricultural economy dependent on groundwater for irrigation, and an aquatic/riparian ecosystem likewise dependent on groundwater for existence, it is clear that we must develop the knowledge required to predict tradeoffs in use of this scarce resource.

		The effects of river damming on hydrology and channel morphology are well-documented for these alluvial rivers, as are the responses of riparian vegetation to changes in hydrology, sediment regimes, and channel morphology.
		The river of the mid-1800s is no more and by 1890 the South Platte River has provided perennial flows, though the natural hydrologic cycle has been modified by water storage systems, interbasin diversions and water use in the basin.
		The primary objective of the study was to systematically characterize water-quality conditions in all of the major river basins in Colorado during the drought.

		The Beecher Island battlefield is in eastern Yuma County, Colorado, where County Road KK crosses the Arikaree River some 16 miles south of Wray and 9 miles north of US Highway 36.
		From the 11th to the 16th the scouts trailed a small party of raiders north and west to what is now the Beecher Island Battlefield on the Arikaree River where they camped the evening of the 16th.
		After a sharp two day battle during which Roman Nose, a war leader of the Northern Cheyenne, was killed the fight settled down to a siege with the 50 scouts still dug in on their island surrounded by approximately 750 Cheyenne and Sioux braves.

		One location on the Arikaree River, in the Republican River Basin where the brassy minnow is locally abundant, has exactly these habitat conditions.
		Specimens collected from the Republican River were a light emerald yellow on the back with a distinct dark band on the sides, and only a faint yellow color above and below the band, and a white ventral surface.
		Propst (1982) found the brassy minnow in the South Platte to be mainly restricted to portions of the mainstem river and most abundant in the eastern portion of the plains region.

		A thesis by Fardal (2003) examined the effects of groundwater pumping in the basin on stream continuity, and a thesis by Griffin (2004) examined the possibility that groundwater dewatering was the sole cause of the problem.
		The primary focus is to access the impact of irrigation pumping on the groundwater levels, which in turn affect the river stream flow.
		With the coincident loss of leaves and cessation of irrigation pumping for the season, water levels in the river began to rise significantly, as expected.

		In terms of conservation of biological diversity, the loss of six bird subspecies due to the hybridization arising from these forested stepping stones and artificial corridors (Knopf 1986) rivals the loss of three species attributed to fragmentation of the eastern deciduous forest.
