Kansas to receive $9 million for drought mitigation projects
Kansas is receiving $9 million from the federal government to enhance a pair of drought mitigation projects.
Gov. Laura Kelly says $7 million will support a state project to divert water from the Little Arkansas River into the Kansas Equus Beds Aquifer.
The remaining $2 million will support the Kansas Voluntary Agreements Program for the state-implemented Kansas Water Transition Assistance Program. The project aims to conserve about 10,000 acre-feet by rotating temporary land fallowing or retiring water rights in the Prairie Dog or Rattlesnake Creek Basins.
Funding is being distributed through the Inflation Reduction Act.
