Platte River is empty for another year as the region remains in the grip
of drought.
The
High Plains Regional Climate Center, and the National Drought Mitigation
Center,
at
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln assisted the Weather Channel
during
the first week of August 2006 as they toured the drought stricken areas
of Nebraska.
An
HBO documentary film crew also joined us the first two days as they
filmed
a documentary on climate change.
The
photos are presented in the order of the filming across the state of Nebraska,
