The Eastern Nebraska Water Resources Assessment (ENWRA) will conduct helicopter flights in mid-April. The helicopters are equipped with technology that captures a "cat scan" of the earth 900 feet below the surface. The data collected is used to identify aquifers.
The flights will take place at the Crete, Nebraska airport. Katie Cameron, survey hydrogeologist, said anyone from SNR is welcome to attend.
