development in the Missouri River Basin, which had been started so
many years ago.

In conclusion, Chairman Mosbaugh paid tribute to the many people
who had been associated with this effort over the years mentioning
State Governors, Federal officials, and private individuals who had
been instrumental in charting the course of the Committee throughout
its 150 meetings.

Resource Development in Kansas and the Kanopolis Irrigation Project.

Mr. James M. Ingles, Regional Director, Region 7, Bureau of
Reclamation, told the Corrmittee that because of resources develop-
ment in Kansas, mapmakers had been obliged to add new physical
features every year for the past 20 updating the map of Kansas.
New lakes have been formed behind 16 dams completed by the Corps
of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation since the end of World
War II. Four are still under construction. The 16 marunade lakes
now have a combined surface area of over 100,000 acres and they
represent a Federal investment of near $~ billion.

and

Mr. Ingles discussed each of the
irrigation projects in Kansas.

Bureau of Reclamation dams

Mr. Ingles also discussed investigations in the State and
pointed out that both Regions of the Bureau of Reclamation were
cooperating with the State of Kansas in a study of the State's
overall resources. This, he said, is a broad Statewide investigation
of potential, industrial and agricultural growth, population expansion,
and water requirements to insure that the State's resources are
developed within the framework of the Kansas State Water Plan.

Water Quality Model for the Kansas River

Mr. Robert L. Smith, Professor and Chairman of the Department
of Civil Engineering at the University of Kansas, discussed the
salient points of a mathematical model developed for use on the
Kansas River Basin. He said the basic objectives of the model were
to simulate the hydrologic behavior, the nonconservative water quality,
and the conservative water quality of a large alluvial river system.
The model was developed at the Center for Research and Engineering
Sciences at the University of Kansas and financed by the Federal
Water Pollution Control Administration.

The basic task of
continuous bookkeeping

the digital model, he said, is to perform a
operation for water, the nonconservative
