Dean Carlson The Kansas Department of Transportation’s primary focus u the CTP-created Airport Assistance program over the last year has been implementing the Comprehensive has funded dozens of improvements at our Transportation Program (CTP) that was passed by the 1999 state’s general aviation airports; legislature. This historic ten-year program is a crucial link u the Local Partnership Grade Separation between the transportation needs of Kansans in the 20th century program is giving communities another avenue and their transportation needs in the 21st century. to improve safety at more of our state’s This past year saw the selection of the 29 System railroad-highway crossings; Enhancement projects that will substantially improve safety, u and cities and counties have more dollars to relieve congestion, improve access, enhance economic use for their own local projects, thanks to the development in their locations, and have a beneficial impact on increases in the Special City County Highway the whole State Highway System. Fund payments authorized by the CTP. The System Enhancement project selection process may have been in the spotlight, but it was just one of the steps of KDOT is using the funding provided by the CTP to make progress that KDOT has taken in the past year. Here are just a the transportation infrastructure of Kansas safer, more efficient, few examples: and more durable. The agency has managed to do this in the A-1 face of reductions in the sales tax demand transfer in both FY 2000 (approximately $27 million) and FY 2001 (approximately $40 million). At the same time, KDOT has seen increased cost estimates because of higher bids, increased project scopes, and inflation. The margin between success and failure is getting thinner. This is why this coming year is a crucial one in the life of the Comprehensive Transportation Program. While KDOT will make every effort to control operating costs, erosion of funding would severely impact KDOT’s ability to complete all of the projects currently included in the Comprehensive Trans- portation Program. It is too early to determine the ones that could be affected, but it is not too early to say that any project eliminated will have a debilitating effect on the Kansans looking forward to that project’s completion. I look forward to working with the Governor and all legislators to make sure that we stay on the path of Continued Transportation Progress that is embodied in the Comprehensive Transportation Program.

  • Streamflow Depletion Investigations in the Republican River Basin: Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas
    J. ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, Vol. 27(3) 251-263, 1999 STREAMFLOW DEPLETION INVESTIGATIONS IN THE REPUBLICAN RIVER BASIN: COLORADO, NEBRASKA, AND KANSAS JOZSEF SZILAGYI University of Nebraska–Lincoln ABSTRACT Water is a critical resource in the Great Plains. This study examines the changes in long-term mean annual streamflow in the Republican River basin. In the past decades this basin, shared by three states, Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas, displayed decreased streamflow volumes as the river enters Kansas across the Nebraska-Kansas border compared to values preceding the 1950s. A recent lawsuit filed by Kansas challenges water appropriations in Nebraska. More than half of the source area for this water, however, lies outside of Nebraska. Today a higher percentage of the annual flow is generated within Nebraska (i.e., 75% of the observed mean annual stream- flow at the NE-KS border) than before the 1950s (i.e., 66% of the observed mean annual streamflow) indicating annual streamflow has decreased more dramatically outside of Nebraska than within the state in the past fifty years. INTRODUCTION The Republican River basin’s 64,796 km2 drainage area is shared by three states: Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas (see Figure 1). Nebraska has the largest single share of the drainage area, 25,154 km2 (39% of total); Colorado can claim about 20,000 km2 (31%), while the rest, about 19,583 km2 (30%), belongs to Kansas [1], from which about 12,800 km2 (20%) lies upstream of Hardy, near the Nebraska-Kansas border. Exact figures for the contributing drainage areas (portions of the drainage areas that actually contribute water to the stream) are hard to obtain because these areas in the headwater sections of the basin have been shrinking constantly in the past fifty years.

Peak discharges were estimated at return intervals ranging from 2- to 500-years in Nebraska. Flow data from gaging stations located in or within 50 miles of Nebraska were collected. Regional regression analysis, using weighted-least squares (WLS) regression and data from 273 gaging stations, were used to develop equations for seven hydrologic regions.
