Rattlesnake Creek Management Program Draft Report Available
In 1993 the Rattlesnake Creek Partnership was formed to develop cooperative solutions to water resource problems in the Rattlesnake Creek subbasin in south central Kansas. Progress towards water use reduction goals in order to stabilize and improve streamflow and groundwater levels was evaluated every four years. This year marks the planned end of the implementation period. The partners have met twice this year to review hydrologic, water use, and water savings data and to discuss the process for completing this four-year review. As is more fully explained in the draft report, the management program goals have not been met, but significant time and resources have been invested to better understanding the hydrology of the basin and to provide tools and incentives for water conservation. DWR has produced a draft report, which is available for review. [more]
