The Platte River Program

The goal of the Platte River Program is to provide objective scientific information that will contribute to science-based decisions for managing natural resources. The USGS will contribute information about natural resources relevant to water users and managers of the central Platte River. The USGS Platte River Ecosystem Initiative will provide a core of work and develop partnerships to provide relevant information to stakeholders. This initiative will provide high-quality, impartial scientific information that can be used by various parties in assessing resource management issues.
