Water Supply and Use

Please visit the National Water Use Information Program web page at http://water.usgs.gov/watuse/ for further information on definitions, publications, and​ ​guidelines for data collection. Categorical Kansas 2010 water-use data can be accessed and downloaded at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/ks/nwis/water_use/.

Water-use data are collected on an annual basis by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Division of Water Resources, as part of this agency’s role in managing water rights and water resources in Kansas (http://agriculture.ks.gov/divisions-programs/dwr). The Kansas Water Office uses the data in its programs involving water planning, water conservation, Water Assurance Districts, and Water Marketing (http://www.kwo.org/).
