| Title: | Upper Arkansas River Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program FY 2008-09 Legislative Report |
| Authors: | Kansas. State Conservation Commission |
| Issue Date: | 12-Jan-2009 |
| Publisher: | Kansas State Conservation Commission |
| Description: | The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program is a federal program which partners with individual states. Currently in 2009 the Upper Arkansas River CREP is one of only four programs in the U.S. working on water quantity issues in a specific river basin. "The Upper Arkansas River Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program is a unique, innovative water management project which has been in development for many years. It was approved by the Kansas Legislature in 2008 as a major cost-leveraging mechanism to facilitate permanent water right retirements and long-term water conservation in a critically arid area of the State. The damage awards received from prolonged years of hard-fought efforts in KS v. CO No. 105 provided the statutorily protected basis for the five year investment in this program. The principal benefits are especially realized by the producers and residents of the area who have suffered historic water and economic deprivations from Colorado, as well as the water supply benefits enjoyed by our entire state citizenry." |
