Local actions urged for water pollution control in Kansas
A Kansas State University driven approach promotes local cleanup over federal regulation. Kansas Extension offices and the Kansas Center for Agricultural Resources and the Environment back community programs in Cheney Lake Watershed to reduce sedimentation nutrients and bacteria. Local efforts are highlighted as effective since Wichita used no tilling soil testing and alternative water sources to improve filtration. Contact local Extension offices or visit oznet.ksu.edu/keare for more details.
