WRAPS Participation by Watershed Districts
SAKW is making contacts with watershed districts located above Federal Reservoirs making them aware of the WRAPS program. SAKW has been suggesting to watershed districts to become a partner in the local effort to apply measures that will improve the quality of water going into the Federal Reservoirs.
Floodplain Management
SAKW is well represented on a task group headed up by the KWO and DWR to look into dam safety issues in Kansas. The result will be a policy stratement being presented to the Kansas Water Authority for legislative consideration.
Wakarusa Watershed Site 24, Yankee Tank
A great deal of local interest has resulted in a concerted effort to secure funding to rehabilitate Wakarusa Site 24, better known as Yankee Tank. SAKW in cooperation with the Wakarusa Board of Directors, Alvamar Inc., the City of Lawrence, and Douglas county continues the effort to secure local funds for the project. A local agreement is in the works that will outline the goals, objectivers,and responsibilities of each partner. NRCS has requested the remaining federal funds for the project.
