KZNA-FM 90.5 serving northwest Kansas is operating at just 10% power using a back up transmitter while work continues to install a new transmitter. It is hoped that this work will completed within the next few days with KZNA back to its full 100,000 watts of power with a state of the art transmitter to serve the area for many years to come.
If you can't receive KZNA at its reduced power, you can listen via the digital stream directly above or on the HPPR mobile app. For questions please contact station staff at (800) 678-7444 or by emailing hppr@hppr.org

Water Woes in Western Kansas May Foreshadow Future

In the science fiction movie Water World, the big problem in the future is too much water... and a lack of land. The problem in western Kansas is just the opposite: not enough water to go around. Commentator Rex Buchanan tells us about the controversial way two communities out west are tackling their own water woes.  


Commentator Rex Buchanan is director emeritus of the Kansas Geological Survey. He's also helped measure water levels in western Kansas for the Survey for more than 20 years. He lives in Lawrence.
