Kansas water use questioned as irrigation debates rise
Kansas farmers face dwindling water supplies and rising costs with uncertain irrigation. A Wichita county project funded by Groundwater Management District 1, the US Geological Survey, and Ozark Regional Commission will drill observation wells and test pumping to gauge aquifer losses while 18 farmers and Kansas State University extension join a 12 mile demonstration area.
