Color-infrared imagery collected during spring waterfowl migration for the Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex for 2016.
Color-infrared imagery collected during spring waterfowl migration for the Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex for 2009.
Color-infrared imagery collected during spring waterfowl migration for the Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex for 2014.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) contracted the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture (RWBJV) to conduct a black-tail prairie dog colony inventory of Nebraska using 1-meter National Agriculture Imagery Program ( 2010) aerial imagery. We estimated the extent of each colony by placing polygon vertices on the furthest visible burrows. Burrows were then re-evaluated using sub-meter resolution imagery. Burrow delineations within 3 kilometers of one another were combined and considered a single colony resulting in 669 distinct colonies totaling 97,438 acres across the state of Nebraska.
Color-infrared imagery collected during late summer for the Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex for 2012.

Agricultural Areas within the Rainwater Basin Region and Twin Platte Region of Nebraska delineated by irrigation type (pivot, pivot corner, gravity, and dryland). Land status current to 2016.
The Big Bend reach of the central Platte River serves as a major staging area for migratory water birds (waterfowl, wading birds, shorebirds) during spring migration. Reduced spring flows and drought conditions within the Platte system have promoted encroachment by undesirable woody and herbaceous invasive species. This encroachment has caused the once shallow braided channels of the Platte River to incise. This action has significantly reduced available habitat for roosting and loafing Sandhill Cranes, endangered Whooping Cranes, and millions of waterfowl that annually utilize the Platte River each spring. This change in river morphology has also reduced available nesting habitat for the federally listed Interior...

Rainwater Basin Joint Venture Projects,
The Rainwater Basin wetland complex (RWB) provides critical spring migration habitat for millions of waterfowl annually. As the region was settled, the abundant wetlands were drained for agricultural purposes. The ephemeral nature of these wetlands and lack of contemporary data prompted the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture to acquire aerial photography on an annual basis. Imagery was collected during peak waterfowl migration in the spring of 2004 and annually from 2006 to 2021.

The North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) is an ongoing effort that has collected data on bird populations and trends since 1966. The Rainwater Basin Joint Venture (RWBJV) has used this data from 2005 to 2010 to create species distribution models (SDMs) for target bird populations within Nebraska. Species targeted by this modeling include Dickcissel (DICK), Eastern Meadowlark (EAME), Grasshopper Sparrow (GRSP), and Western Meadowlark (WEME). These species were identified as high-priority Planning Species by the RWBJV Landbird Plan. The SDMs created by this analysis will be used to better inform conservation efforts throughout the state. For this analysis we used the following variable data: Missouri Resource...

Color-infrared imagery collected during spring waterfowl migration for the Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex for 2010.
Annual waterfowl (Anseriformes) surveys during Spring migration in the Rainwater Basin Wetland (RWB) Complex 2017-21. Each year a subset of RWB wetlands are selected for survey. Species counts and ancillary data about site conditions are collected using roadside surveys. Sites are revisited periodically through Spring migration. Dry wetlands or wetlands containing concentration pits are removed from the survey but are documented in a separate table.

Completed wetland and watershed restorations of irrigation reuse (or wetland concentration) pits in the Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex. The inventory is updated annually from project and management tracking database records of watershed or wetland restorations by Rainwater Basin Joint Venture conservation partners. Irrigation reuse pits are remnant structures associated with gravity irrigation. Center pivot irrigation has largely replaced gravity irrigation in the region but, the irrigation reuse pits that remain in the watersheds of Rainwater Basin wetlands intercept rainfall that would otherwise runoff to the wetland. Concentration pits are structurally similar to irrigation reuse pits but were constructed within...

Color-infrared imagery collected during spring waterfowl migration for the Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex for 2012.
The Waters of the United States (WOTUS), or Clean Water Rule, defines which wetlands are under the jurisdiction of the federal government for regulating provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1972. Due to court decisions and administrative changes, the definitions currently in use varies across the United States. The most recent Clean Water Rule, 2015, is in effect for 22 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. Territories. The remaining 28 states, including Nebraska, are regulated under the 1986/1988 regulatory definition of Waters of the United States, 40 CFR 230.3(s) (EPA 2019). However, in February of April 2019, the two lead federal agencies, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of...

DJ Case will work with PLJV and other project cooperators to develop, conduct, and analyze 14 focus groups with key landowners in six states within the GPLCC. Focus groups allow for open-ended discussions and follow-on questioning that will reveal the key socioeconomic realities and hurdles that discourage landowners from enrolling in conservation programs or restoring playas. Focus groups will be conducted in areas with large playa clusters as identified by PLJV’s science-based Playa Decision Support System. Researchers will select key landowners in each state for participation, and will use the focus group sessions to learn what landowners think and feel about management of their lands in general, and about conservation...
