<br />Data Collection Procedures (Kansas Water Office)
<br />
<br />The Kansas Water Office "1984 Survey of Water Use for PUblic
<br />Water Supply" (see Appendix), covered the remaining Kansas
<br />counties that were not included in the Crops of Engineeres data
<br />collection effort; representing the Kansas-Lower Republican,
<br />Marias des Cygnes, Missouri, Smoky Hill-Saline, Solomon and Upper
<br />Republican river basinso
<br />
<br />In the these counties, all public water supplies that had at
<br />least one direct source of water supply were mailed a "Survey of
<br />Water Use for Public Water Supply" by the Kansas Water Officeo
<br />Two follow-up mailings were made to nonrespondents and the
<br />overall response rate was approximately 80 percent, with
<br />completed surveys received from all major public water
<br />supplierso The data collected by the Kansas Water Office were
<br />for calendar year 1984.
<br />
<br />A manual edit was conducted for each survey form that was
<br />returned, to determine if all data items were completed or if any
<br />of the data appeared to be unrealistico Also, computer edits of
<br />the survey data were made to ensure that columns totaled properly
<br />and to determine if the computer calculation of gallons per
<br />capita per day (gpcd) water usage fell within reasonable limitso
<br />Questions arising from the editing phase of the survey were
<br />generally resolved by direct telephone follow-up to the
<br />respondent and/or by reviewing any appropriate data that may have
<br />been entered onto the Division of Water Resources water use file,
<br />as part of the Kansas Water Database 0
