Kansas and Nebraska settled their dispute over Republican River Compact Administration (RRCA) groundwater rights through a settlement stipulation that the Supreme Court approved in 2003. The Court approved the Final Settlement Stipulation executed by all parties and dismissed all claims arising before December 15, 2002, with prejudice, while recommitting the case to a Special Master solely to resolve procedural questions regarding completion of the RRCA Groundwater Model under the settlement's binding procedures.
