Republican River Compact Administration Groundwater Model
As part of the Final Settlement Stipulation in Kansas v. Nebraska and Colorado,
No 126 Original which resolved the interstate disbute between the States of
Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska on the Republican River, a groundwater model was
developed by a Technical Groundwater Modeling Committee comprised of
representatives from all three states. The committee meetings were also
attended by representatives of the United States.
The following persons participated in the Technical Groundwater Modeling
Committee meetings:
- Colorado
- Ken Knox
- Bill Fronczak
- Willem Schreuder
- Jim Slattery
- Kansas
- George Austin
- David Barfield
- Dale Book
- Mary-Kay Brengosz
- Steve Larson
- Nebraska
- Evan Anderman
- Ann Bleed
- Jerry Kenny
- Larry Land
- Derrel Martin
- Michael McDonald
- Dan Morrissey
- Jennifer Schellpeper
- Chuck Spalding
- Lee Wilson
- United States
- Alan Burns
- Mark Phillips
Through a series of meetings over about a year, the committee went through a
series of refinements of the model. The original USGS model of Landon et. al.
was counted as version 1. The final version of the model presented here is
known as Version 12p7, or simply Version 12p. This version of the model
represents the end result of the joint efforts of the three States with input
from the United States.
