Rivers of Nebraska. The Platte and Niobrara are featured. With nearly 80,000 miles of rivers in Nebraska, these waterways are crucial to the state and its people. They provide water for agriculture, municipalities and industry. They provide habitat for numerous plant, animal and fish species, some of which are endangered or threatened. But they are more than important natural resources. They provide beauty and enjoyment for the state as well. In Rivers of Nebraska, NET will tell the tales of two of the state's rivers, each with their own special story. This will be a one-hour program for the March 2018 pledge drive, featuring interesting stories about the Platte and Niobrara Rivers, the beauty these natural resources provide and include the special drone perspective of these rivers from above.
