Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) for the Preservation and Improvement of Water Quality in South-Central Kansas

Abstract

The integrated water resources management (IWRM) proposal for the preservation of the quality of water resources in south-central Kansas exemplifies an appropriate solution to the problem of supplying water with adequate qualities to natural habitat, urban communities and agricultural users in an area of limited water resources. The integrated system is based on the postulate that all kinds and qualities of water resources in the region have their appropriate niche of use for the needs of people, agriculture, and natural habitats. Budgets of water and solute quantities help to match each kind of water with its appropriate consumer. Mixing of different types of water and storage facilities are required to avoid unnecessary loss of water resources or depletion of current supplies of water for the different consumers.
