Ground-Water Supplies Available in Kansas for National Defense Industries / with a chapter on stream flow in Kansas

Abstract

This report calls timely attention to the availability in many parts of Kansas of large supplies of water from wells or from streams for use by national defense industries.

It also summarizes the quality of water from wells in different parts of the state, with reference to suitability for industrial use.

Supplies of 10,000,000 to more than 20,000,000 gallons a day are available for -eontinued use from groups of wells in the Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas river valleys, and somewhat smaller supplies are available in many other parts of the state, particularly in the western part. Supplies larger than those stated are available for a period of a few years during the present emergency. Information is given regarding parts of the state in which ground-water supplies large enough for use by national defense plants generally are not available.
