Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly approved updates to drought declarations for counties as drought persists in the Sunflower State.
“While drought conditions have improved in some areas of the state, many counties continue to be negatively impacted by the decline in water supply or strains on water resources,” said Governor Laura Kelly. “I strongly encourage all Kansans to continue to conserve water over the summer months.”
The drought declaration recognized four counties as being in emergency status, 35 in warning status, and 66 in watch status. The counties in a drought emergency are Hodgeman, Ness, Pawnee, and Rush. Those in a drought warning are Barber, Barton, Clark, Comanche, Edwards, Ellis, Ellsworth, Finney, Ford, Grant, Gray, Greeley, Hamilton, Harper, Harvey, Haskell, Kearny, Kingman, Kiowa, Lane, McPherson, Meade, Morton, Pratt, Reno, Rice, Russell, Scott, Sedgwick, Seward, Stafford, Stanton, Stevens, Sumner, and Wichita.
