The Basin Advisory Committees provide
insight and advice on water issues to the Kansas Water Authority and
serve as a forum for community involvement. Each of the state's 12
principal river basins has a Basin Advisory Committee.
Renewable fuel production and the impact
to our water resources is an issue that each of the BACs have expressed
an interest in learning more. This joint Basin Advisory Committee
meeting is to provide a broad scope of information in an unbiased, open
format.
