Water Resources of Kansas
Welcome to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Web page for the water resources of Kansas; this is your direct link to all kinds of water-resource information. Here you'll find information on Kansas's rivers and streams. You'll also find information about , water quality, and many other topics. The USGS operates the most extensive satellite network of stream-gaging stations in the state, many of which form the backbone of flood-warning systems.
The Kansas Water Science Center provides current ("real-time") stream stage in Kansas and streamflow, water-quality, and groundwater levels for over 200 sites.
The USGS provides National ("real-time") stream stage and streamflow, water-quality, and groundwater levels for over 7000 sites.
