Kansas <br /> <br />Location of Investigation: In Sumner County. south-central Kansas, <br />on the Chikaskia Rive~, a tributary of <br />the Salt Fork which is. in turn. a <br />tributary of the Arkansas River. <br /> <br />Date Investigation Initiated: October 1973 Probable date of completion: <br />~rch 1976 (This is a <br />resumption of an investigation <br />deferred in 1967) <br /> <br />1. Scope of proposed investigation: <br /> <br />Feasibility investigation to formulate and evaluate final plans of the <br />water resourc~s of Chi~askia River primarily for municipal and industrial <br />use. Vitally needed flood control protection for the Chikaskia basin <br />would also be a project function. <br /> <br />2. Nature of problems involved: <br /> <br />It is important that new or sUPPlemental water supplies be made available <br />to meet the growing needs of the project area. The city of Wichita, along <br />with several other communities in south~centra1 Kansas and north-central <br />Oklahoma. is experiencing growth that will require additional water <br />supplies. probably as early as 1980. Flooding is also a significant <br />problem. especially in the vicinity of Blackwell, pklahoma, in north- <br />central Oklahoma. <br /> <br />3. Prospective solutions which lilhol'ld be explored: <br /> <br />A dam and reservoir will be investigated on the Chi~ask+a ~iver near <br />Corbin, Kansas, alOng with alternative sites. Alternative. plans will be <br />analyzed usi~g the mu1tiobjective planning procedures to assure that <br />the final plan has considered all ideas concerning good water management. <br /> <br />j(}- /8- 7;9 <br />Date <br /> <br /> <br />t Region <br /> <br />~t <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />'in~< <br />~t4t;~ <br />,,;"". <br />tf/~:': <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />.~;,,':$.'.?i <br />~;~~ <br />~.~'. <br />~~~ <br /> <br />;r~{~ <br /> <br />_.'"Yr.' <br /> <br />::.';::;:":~;,. <br /> <br />';::::.-.\, <br />.-'-.-'. <br /> <br />
