Show Notes
Portal Lake in Papillion, Nebraska, faces a unique challenge: a dry reservoir due to sandy soil. The Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District is working to seal it up and restore its water-holding capacity. The dam is functioning well for flood control, but the sandy layer was an unexpected issue. Locals are disheartened by the empty basin, once full enough for boating. District leaders have identified the problem and are implementing solutions to create a permanent pool for recreation. With repairs in progress and rain on the horizon, Portal Lake is expected to regain its former glory.
