This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release represents geospatial and tabular data on irrigation water use in Kansas. The data release was produced in compliance with open data requirements. The dataset consists of 3 separate items with similar attributes aggregated to different geographic extents: 1. Kansas counties; 2. Kansas regional planning areas used in the Kansas Water Plan; and 3. Kansas irrigation water-use analysis regions. Reported 2014 water withdrawn for irrigation, acres irrigated, and application rates along with the published application rate statistics from the previous 4 years (2010–13) are shown with the 2014 statistics and are used to calculate a 5-year average. The 2014 annual total...

Kansas water-use data are collected on an annual basis by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Division of Water Resources (DWR), as part of this agency’s role in managing water rights and water resources in Kansas (http://agriculture.ks.gov/water-use-reporting/). The Kansas Water Office (KWO) uses the data in its programs involving water planning, water conservation, water assurance districts, and water marketing (http://www.kwo.org/). Annual data releases of Kansas public-supply (municipal) and irrigation water-use data are prepared by the USGS, DWR, and KWO.
