Ulysses Kansas mayor Ed Wiltse weighs a quarter of the city budget to buy water as the Ogallala Aquifer, crucial for the region’s beef and grain, drops about 25 feet in a decade. Towns face rising costs, farmers switch to cotton, and federal action debates whether water rights stay state controlled.
Kansas water rights allow a user to draw a defined amount each year for a specific purpose and can be revoked if unused. Since 1984, rights may be curtailed in drought when aquifer or stream flows fall below set minimums. The system follows first in time, first in right, and is administered by the Department of Water Resources.
