Water Conservation Plans
The Kansas Water Office develops and maintains guidelines for Water Conservation Plans and practices. The guidelines are prepared for use by public water suppliers to assist them in preparing a water conservation plan. Water conservation is the utilization of cost-effective water use efficiency practices to curtail the waste of water and to ensure that water use does not exceed reasonable needs. The primary goal of a Water Conservation Plan is to achieve more efficient use of the state’s limited water resources.
The Kansas Water Office utilizes the assistance of KRWA to help systems in need of updating or developing a Water Conservation Plan. The reasons for developing a water conservation plan include:
- Condition of a Water Right
- Multipurpose Small Lake Program
- Water Transfers Act
- Public Water Supply Planning Grant
- State Revolving Loan Fund Application
- Water Assurance District Member
- Water Marketing Customer
- Voluntary by system
