(KAIR)--A second round of local consult meetings to gather input on strategies for implementing the 2022 Kansas Water Plan are set for this month, including one in the local area.

According to a release from Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, those who attend will have the opportunity to provide feedback through facilitated group discussions about such topics as updated investment scenarios, ranking criteria to achieve long-term goals around aquifers, reservoirs, and water quality; preferred revenue sources, and setting objectives through reasonable actions.

Locally, one such meeting is set to be held in Leavenworth. It will be Thursday evening, September 26, from 6 until 9:00, at the Frontier Conference Center. Attendees are asked to RSVP here.

The Kansas Water Office, Kansas Department of Agriculture, and Kansas Department of Health and Environment, are conducting the local consult meetings.

Kelly, in the release, calls preserving the quality and quantity of the State's water "an existential issue," saying that the "meetings will help build a program that provides the collective, coordinated action on water conservation and quality that communities across Kansas need, in both the short and long term.”
