The City of Wichita is conserving water, and the public is encouraged to conserve also. Wichita has entered Stage 1 of its Codified Drought Response Plan as the level of Cheney Reservoir drops. Some of the measures that the city has taken to conserve water are reducing water on parkland and city-owned grassy areas, irrigating city golf courses with pond water, wells and using drought-resistant grasses, using gray water on trees, only cleaning city vehicles when necessary and using water efficient devices at city facilities.
Water fountains will be running in Wichita during the Riverfest, but the fountains will be shut off after the festival ends.
