Welcome

The Nebraska Department of Water, Energy, and Environment (DWEE) is the result of merging two state agencies, effective July 1, 2025: the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy.

This new department brings together our state's efforts in water management, energy policies, and environmental protection. While we transition into a unified online presence, please continue to use the legacy websites for current services and information.
