  Water Programs in Kansas have a long history

  The USGS has collected hydrologic information in Kansas since 1895 with the first USGS Cooperative Water Program funding agreement for 6 streamflow gages with the Kansas Water Board. USGS collects streamflow and gage-height data; reservoir content; water-quality and water-quantity data; suspended-sediment data; and groundwater levels. Hydrologic studies are conducted on national, regional, statewide, and local levels. The USGS in Kansas works cooperatively with 31 Federal, State, and local agencies, such as the Kansas Water Office, the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers, and the City of Wichita

Lakes and Reservoirs in Kansas The lakes and reservoirs in Kansas are located in two major river basins--the Missouri River Basin and the Arkansas River Basin. Basin summaries and individual lake and reservoir information are available courtesy of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers , the U.S. Geological Survey, and U.S Bureau of Reclamation. Basin Summaries Daily Missouri River Basin (Contains DAILY data on lakes and reservoirs in the lower Missouri River Basin, (Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri, including the Kansas River Basin in a table format). 8-day Missouri River Basin (Contains 8-day data on lakes and reservoirs in the lower Missouri River Basin including the Kansas River Basin in a table format). Daily Arkansas River Basin (Contains DAILY data on lakes and reservoirs in the Arkansas River Basin, including Oklahoma, in table format and links to GRAPHICAL presentations).
