| Title: | Final Pawnee County Management Plan |
| Authors: | Kansas. Department of Agriculture. Division of Water Resources
Kansas. Subbasin Water Resource Management Program |
| Issue Date: | 2004 |
| Publisher: | Kansas Department of Agriculture (Topeka, Kan.) |
| Description: | Residents of the subbasin are highly dependent on the groundwater resources for irrigation, municipal, industrial, and domestic use. The Division of Water Resources and Big Bend Groundwater Management District #5 have data supporting that groundwater resources in the subbasin are fully appropriated and increased
management initiatives are necessary to assure an adequate supply for future generations at current level of appropriations. Water levels can be severely impacted during extended droughts due to increased withdrawals, creating more stress on the aquifer system and making recovery of water levels more difficult to obtain. Special programs are needed to address the fluctuations in
water levels during these drought periods. The implementation of conservation programs and
adoption of a drought contingency plan (DCP) will help preserve the water resources of the area
and maintain stability in the economy. This plan does not attempt to address changes in water
levels occurring since predevelopment. It is designed only to reduce the impact of increased
pumping on the Pawnee-Buckner-Sawlog Subbasin aquifer during drought conditions. |
