If you are interested in the water planning and integrated water management activities of a certain natural resources district (NRD), please note the following:

• Most NRDs contain portions of multiple basins; therefore, the location that you click within an NRD matters. For example, clicking the green portion of the Tri-Basin NRD will take you to the Upper Platte River Basin page, which contains information about Tri-Basin NRD's activities within the Upper Platte River Basin, whereas clicking on the orange portion of Tri-Basin NRD will take you to the Republican River Basin page, which contains information about Tri-Basin NRD's activities that occur there.
