Excerpts from the report: The study area is the Arkansas River Basin in Kansas. It is about 41,865 square miles (26,793,700 acres) in size and covers approximately the southern half of Kansas. The study area was divided into five planning units, as designated by the State. Their names and sizes are: Upper Arkansas Unit (10,323 square miles). Cimarron Unit (6,788 square miles), Lower Arkansas Unit (11,600 square miles), Walnut-Verdigris Unit (6,839 square miles), and Neosho Unit 6,315 (square miles). The Kansas Water Resources Board is making a water resource study of the State in the interest of water control, water flow, water supply, agricultural, municipal, industrial, and recreational water use, stream pollution, sedimentation. The Board requested the U. S. Department of Agriculture to cooperate and undertake with it a study of the Kansas portion of the Arkansas River Basin. Major objectives of the study included: I. Projection of economic development as a basis to assess needs for development of water and related land resources. II. Inventory agricultural and rural community water and land resources availability and needs for resource development. III. Analysis of potential water and related land resource development. IV.
