Kansas and Nebraska are in another water fight. This time, its about what’s in the Platte River—the highly invasion Asian carp species called Silver Carp.
Nebraska has a plan known as the Platte-Republican diversion which would mean the carp would be allowed to enter the Republican river which flows into Kansas. Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly and the state’s attorney general, Kris Kobach have come out against the planned Platte-Republican interbasin transfer.
Under the plan, Nebraska would redirect water from the Platte River in Nebraska south to the Republican River Basin which enters the northern part of Kansas, reported The Kansas Reflector.
