A bill that would create a task force to deal with water issues in the Republican River Basin was advanced from general file March 12.

LB1057, introduced by Holdrege Sen. Tom Carlson, would create the Republican River Basin Water Sustainability Task Force, whose purpose would be to develop a plan to reach water sustainability and avoid water-short years. The task force would present a final report to the Legislature by May 15, 2012.
