Running Dry: The Future of Water in Kansas

KMUW's Engage ICT held a panel on June 13, 2023, to discuss the future of water in Kansas.

What’s more important than water? Maybe air, but not knowing if we’ll have drinkable water in Kansas twenty years from now could be a problem. During June's Engage ICT, we discussed Running Dry: The Future of Water in Kansas. Our panelists for this conversation are:

  • David Condos, former reporter for the Kansas News Service
  • Gary Janzen, Director of Public Works and Utilities for the City of Wichita
  • Libby Albers, Interim Director of the Kansas Alliance for Wetlands and Streams
