basins form the boundaries,
enabling districts to respond best to local

taxes collected in the county.
NRD's help Nebraskans respond to natural

local solutions. Often, they build partnerships
with other agencies and organizations, including
the USDA Natural Resources Conservation
Service, the Nebraska Natural
Resources Commission, other state and
federal agencies, municipalities, counties, and
private organizations.
