Water supply crisis in Hays kansas prompts pipeline plan
Hays faces severe drought risk as the city relies entirely on rainfall with groundwater scarce. Officials cite Ogallala Aquifer limits and a growing population, weighing a $4.3 million ranch purchase for wells and a $20 million, 80 mile pipeline to Edwards County, subject to legislative approval. Per capita use has fallen from 174 to 91 gallons daily since 1988.
