Hydrologist Brian Loving notes Arkansas River set a 52 year low at 25 cfs last week and 21 cfs on Tuesday, signaling ongoing declines through September amid rising irrigation use.

Kansas Kids Count ranks Kansas poorly in health and family metrics
State advocates say expanding Medicaid to cover parents under the Affordable Care Act could boost children’s coverage and retention. Kansas ranked 16th overall in the Annie E. Casey Kids Count 16-indicator study, with 3rd in economic well being, 2nd in education, 32nd in health, and 24th in family and community. Kansas officials aim to use the robust data before lawmakers while preparing to move Medicaid to KanCare and include HealthWare for children. Health reporter Karrey Britt notes October data release for county breakdowns.
