| Title: | Kansas Reference Streams: Selection of Suitable Candidates, Impending Threats to Reference Stature and Recommendations for Long-Term Conservation |

| Description: | Reference streams, or the highest quality streams in a given region, play a critical role in modern water pollution control programs. Knowledge obtained through their study is applied in the characterization of the baseline ecological condition, the development of surface water quality criteria, the identification of water quality-impaired streams, the performance of statewide water quality assessments, and the formulation of restoration goals for environmentally degraded water bodies. With these considerations in mind, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) recently undertook a systematic inventory of candidate reference streams in Kansas. |
