Platte River Resilience Fund

This Fund is established to develop a source of funds for long-term support of activities that will ensure conveyance of water on the Platte River system in Nebraska.  Activities to be funded will initially focus on control of invasive plant species but may include other actions necessary to support water conveyance.  The geographic focus of the Fund will be the Platte River system from Kingsley Dam and the South Platte River at the Colorado border downstream to the Highway 81 bridge at Columbus, Nebraska.
