Dry Ninnescah River Leaves Bed Near Cheney Reservoir
In a drought marked by dwindling river flows, 64 year old Mark Rogers finds a dry Ninnescah riverbed near K-17 with only a single 10 inch hole containing 10 carp. Hydrologist Brian Loving warns streams will worsen through September as drought reduces flow across Kansas rivers. Arkansas River at Hutchinson already set a 52 year low of 25 cfs last week, with forecasts predicting further drops possibly below 20 cfs by week’s end.
