Water Quality Within the CPNRD

The Central Platte NRD maintains a groundwater quality monitoring program that collects water samples across the District annually. This is done to evaluate nitrate levels, which is the primary contaminant of concern. Established in 1985, the program designates high nitrate areas into phases that correspond to controls on nutrient application and educational efforts.

Seeing Is Not Believing: What You See is Not What You Get

Visual Illusions have been studied by psychologists for over 100 years. Not only have we learned much about the human visual system, but illusions have taught us lessons for automobile and airline pilot safety. In this course I will provide many examples of visual illusions and the lessons that each one teaches us.
