Kansans seek center to trim pollution in rivers and streams
Officials unveil a manure centered effort to clean water as Kansas reels from Riverkeepers ranking the Kansas and Missouri rivers among the nation's dirtiest. State experts note progress since 1972 with a 90 percent drop in fecal coliform but 40 percent of streams still exceed standards.
