Welcome

Welcome to the Kansas Water Office home page.  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.

Water planning in Kansas is an open process.  Keep coming back to this web site for the latest in policy proposals and schedules of the basin advisory committees and Kansas Water Authority meetings.
