Method: medians computed from NeDNR records (Nebraska DNR registered groundwater wells; decommissioned wells are excluded from the working-well counts but still counted in depth history; depths 0-5,000 ft). Cost estimate applies published per-foot ranges (checked 2026-06-11) to the local median depth — full methodology & sources.
