Kansas-Lower Republican River Basin

The Kansas-Lower Republican basin covers nearly 10,500 square miles of northeastern Kansas and includes that portion of the state drained by the Republican River downstream of Harlan County Dam in Nebraska and the Kansas River which originates at the junction of the Republican and Smoky Hill rivers.  For planning purposes, the portion of the Blue River drainage in Johnson county which joins the Missouri River in Jackson County, Missouri is also included in this basin.  The basin includes all or part of 25 counties.
