<br />hesitate to call our Staff. We always welcome the
<br />opportunity to assist you.
<br />It is a wOl1hwhile advantage to look at where
<br />we've been and where we are going. It's a great point
<br />of reference to stand in the middle and contemplate
<br />our future destiny with a great resource, fortunately,
<br />still much to our benefit. We can look back at one
<br />hundred years of successful water development.
<br />What will the next one hundred years be like?
<br />Our best calculations indicate there is currently
<br />about I3IARR,320 acre-fect (42,R45.600,560,320
<br />gallons) of water currently stored in the High Plains
<br />(Ogallala) Aquifer within our District. Total aver-
<br />age annual water use within the District is about 1.9
<br />million acre-fect, or about 619,116,900,000 gal-
<br />lons per year.

<br />Water management and related issues are becom-
<br />ing more and more complicated. With your help, we
<br />arc trying to keep things as simple as possible, and
<br />still strive to maintain and enhance the Southwest
<br />Kansas experience.
<br />Our purpose: to develop strategies which opti-
<br />mize the use of water for the most number of people
<br />at the maximum economic value possible for the
<br />greatest length of time. If we do this, and minimize
<br />the amount of water we pump at every available op-
<br />portunity, we will stay successful. This is why we call
<br />our groundwater "The Resource of the Future",
<br />Water for the 21 st Century - our birthright, our
<br />responsibility!
