Скачать или смотреть Feast and Famine: Securing Kansas Water Needs

Kansas is at a critical crossroads. With sedimentation reducing water storage in the East, and the Ogallala being rapidly depleted in the West, Kansas stands to lose over 37 % of it's water in 50 counties across the state by 2062, or an annual shortfall of 1.86 million acre-feet. Since water is vital to thriving economies, not having the water the State demands will lead to an approximately 18.3 billion annual loss in Gross State Product, with 241,00 people out of work.

Kansas can often be in a situation where in one part of the state it has too much water whereas in others, it doesn't have enough, all at the same time; a Feast AND Famine regarding water availability.

This video talks about efforts that are currently under way and others that could be considered to ensure that all of Kansas can access a sustainable supply of water and continue to enjoy economic prosperity.
