DWEE Nitrate Hot Spot

The test critical values and distance band are adjusted based on the results of multi-distance Global Moran’s I test, which helps alleviate the false discovery rate issue common in spatially correlated data. Analysis was performed using ArcGIS Professional (Version 3.1, ESRI, 2023). Figure 13 of the 2023-2024 NE Nitrate in Drinking Water Study shows the relative hot and cold spots for nitrate based on data from 2003-2019. These sample results are accessible from the Nebraska Groundwater Quality Clearinghouse. At wells sampled more than once during the study period, the median concentration was used. Red spots indicate statistically significant hot spots, and blue spots indicate statistically significant cold spots. A hot spot indicates both spatial clustering and high outlier concentrations. Because of the distribution of nitrate concentrations across Nebraska, the relative concentrations of hot and cold spots differ slightly across the state. This analysis shows areas of elevated nitrate concentrations are largely consistent with other studies of nitrate in Nebraska such as those conducted by Spalding (1993), McMahon (2007), and Exner et al. (2014). Land use in these areas is similar to contributing land use patterns identified in modeling efforts such as Wheeler et al. (2015) and Garcia (2017). The average concentration at a hot spot was 14.42 mg/L. The average concentration at a cold spot was 3.71 mg/L. The average for all data was 7.05 mg/L. Grey dots represent sample locations that are not identified as statistically significant hot or cold spots. Figures 14 and 15 in the 2023-2024 NE Nitrate in Drinking Water Study show the distribution of nitrate concentration at points identified as hot spots or cold spots. Table 7 of the same report summarizes the average sample concentration for hot or cold spots. It is important to note that this is not a health measure, and some of the cold spot nitrate concentrations are at wells that exceed the SDWA standard because of their location and concentration relative to the area around them. It is possible to be a statistically significant outlier on the low end, in an area where the overall distribution is higher concentrations, such as in the Bazile Groundwater Management Area.For a complete description see: https://dee.nebraska.gov/water/nitrate-drinking-water-study
Nebraska Section and Sub-Section

This feature service is based off of digitization of Aerial Imagery collected by the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) for the state of Nebraska. This dataset does not cover the entire state and should be used only for informational purposes. This data should be used for geographic reference only and is not an official surveyed dataset. This feature service is intended for use by the public in online mapping applications, reports, and print functions to help users better identify map locations similar to real world legal descriptions. SubSections in Nebraska are equivalent to 1/4 1/4 Sections, or 1/16 Section, or approximately 40 Acres.
Annual Average Daily Traffic Flow

The Nebraska Department of Transporation (NDOT) collects traffic data including traffic flow, traffic counts, and truck traffic flow. The data is averaged out on a yearly basis, and is reported bi-annually, with the first year in the application being 2016. The application includes a filter widget that allows the user to filter the data based on the year that the traffic count was performed. The default filter is set for the most recent iteration of traffic count data, and if there is no filter applied, users can view data for all years by clicking on the features and reading the popup.

Threatened and Endangered Species Ranges

This data is showing the current ranges in Nebraska for the species listed as threatened or endangered in the state. This version supersedes all previously dated versions. Updates are made to the shapefile as new information becomes available, and periodically updated maps are posted to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission website. A range map is a generalized representation of the distribution of a species. A species might occur anywhere within a mapped range in which there is suitable habitat. These maps show current ranges rather than historical ranges. Thus an area in which a given species formerly occurred is not included if there is a high degree of confidence on the part of NGPC biologists that the species no longer occurs there. Species, particularly those highly mobile such as birds, may occur outside of their range in locations in which the species is generally described as 'accidental' or 'vagrant.' Range maps do not include such locations. Species may also occur outside the range if the range has changed since the time it was last updated.
Statewide Permitted Acres

The Nebraska Department of Natural Resources (NeDNR) uses spatial representations of Certified Acres (CA), or areas of land which can legally be irrigated for groundwater use, surface water use, or a mix of the two (comingled). In Nebraska, the Natural Resources Districts (NRDs) are the entity responsible for groundwater permitting, and NeDNR is responsible for surface water permitting. Spatial data of CA is used by NeDNR for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: Use as an input in models that calculate water balance, determine crop type, determine irrigation status, verify progress toward NeDNR and NRD shared goals, ensure compliance with intra- and interstate agreements, observe conservation practices and trends, assess NRD water use transfers, to assess water usage on a variety of spatial scales, and to use generally in other applicable circumstances. Generally, spatial representations of CA data are made on an annualized basis. NeDNR does not produce any of the groundwater-only CA spatial representations. Spatial representations of groundwater-only and NRD-attributed comingled CA are produced, maintained, provided by, and the responsibility of the individual NRDs. Data represented in this layer may not match exactly with data that is used in models or other analyses. These spatial representations do not indicate areas of land that is irrigated in the year it represents, only the legally allowed possibility to irrigate. In this dataset, CPNRD groundwater-only and NRD-indicated comingled is represented using data from 2020.

Nebraska Bedrock Geology

Public data is from the Conservation and Survey Department at UNL. A digitized version of the bedrock geology of Nebraska. Primary source is a 1:250,000 series of geologic bedrock maps for eastern and southern Nebraska. Published in the early 1970s, a large portion of the area has been superseded, but not published. The remainder of the state has been published at 1:1,000,000 in 1986, but current mapping is being done on the surface geology, rather than bedrock geology. Updates are planned on a county by county basis.
DHHS Local Health Departments

CensusBlocks2020HighCostUrbanPSC

The Census Block 2020 High Cost Urban dataset is a Nebraska Public Service Commission (PSC) geospatial product derived from 2020 U.S. Census block geography and attributes to support classification of areas as High Cost (Rural) or Urban for broadband-related planning, analysis, and reporting. Census blocks identified as High Cost (Rural) are represented as spatial features in this dataset; areas outside the dataset’s spatial coverage correspond to Urban areas within the State of Nebraska. The dataset provides a consistent statewide reference aligned with PSC program administration and mapping needs.
Census Blocks 2020

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census Blocks are statistical areas bounded on all sides by visible features, such as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and/or by non visible boundaries such as city, town, township, and county limits, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads. Census blocks are relatively small in area; for example, a block in a city bounded by streets. However, census blocks in remote areas are often large and irregular and may even be many square miles in area. A common misunderstanding is that data users think census blocks are used geographically to build all other census geographic areas, rather all other census geographic areas are updated and then used as the primary constraints, along with roads and water features, to delineate the tabulation blocks. As a result, all 2020 Census blocks nest within every other 2020 Census geographic area, so that Census Bureau statistical data can be tabulated at the block level and aggregated up to the appropriate geographic areas. Census blocks cover all territory in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which the Census Bureau publishes data from the decennial census. A block may consist of one or more faces. 2020 Census population figures provided with the tab blocks are subjected to statistical adjustment by the Disclosure Avoidance System (DAS) to protect individual privacy of survey respondents.
