Kansas Water Office We are the water planning, policy, coordination, and marketing agency for the state.

The Water Office coordinates the Kansas water planning process in concert with the Kansas Water Authority. The Authority's 24 members include representatives from diverse water use interest groups and leaders of the state's natural resource agencies. Advice on policy development comes from Basin Advisory Committees in each of the state's 12 river basins and other local stakeholders. The Authority, in turn, advises the Governor and Legislature on water issues to be considered for policy enactment.

Kansas is home to 24 federal reservoirs. Although some are called lakes, such as Tuttle Creek, Wilson, and El Dorado lakes, these human-made bodies of water are threatened by sediment buildup.

The Kansas Water Office is working to reduce sediment to ensure we can continue to enjoy the water supply and recreational activities these reservoirs support.

🚿 fresh shower
🏞️ green spaces
🍝 dinner with friends
