aqueduct

A proposal to build an aqueduct from the Missouri River in northeast Kansas to water-starved portions of western Kansas seemed unlikely to go anywhere in the first place and now... a top water official has all but ruled out the idea.

State water officials are still studying the idea of building a massive aqueduct from eastern to western Kansas.

A study shows that a proposed aqueduct to western Kansas would come with a high pricetag.

Western Kansas irrigators look to the Missouri River as a possible source of water to relieve the demand on the dwindling Ogallala Aquifer. But questions remain about the viability of building a 300-mile aqueduct from Northeast to Western Kansas.
