Posted Dec 09, 2019 6:15 PM

You can attend a public scoping meeting Tuesday evening in Junction City to give your input on the Kansas River Reservoirs Flood and Sediment Study. The Corps said this is a joint-federal and state watershed study effort.


The Corps and Kansas Wildlife, Parks and Tourism are in the early stages of a five-year watershed study to develop a long-term plan for the basin's water resources and infrastructure. The study is an opportunity to review existing and possible future conditions in the basin, lake and river basin management, and to investigate ways to extend the useful life of the 18 federal reservoirs in the basin by increasing resiliency and maintaining capacity.


The meeting in Junction City will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.. Tuesday at the 4-H / Senior Citizens Center at 1107 South Spring Valley Road.
