The McPherson County Children''s Water Festival has been created to
inform children and adults in an interactive, educational workshop of the
importance of protecting the natural resource of groundwater. The goal
is to inform participants that being good stewards of the aquifer we draw

in the years to come. This project will involve approximately 400 4th grade

| Melvern Water Quality Protection Part 1 & 2 |
The project was initiated by Flint Hills RC&D in 1999. This project
is the second part of the Melvern Watershed Protection Project which first
included a watershed and lake assessment by KSU. The results of the initial
assessment indicated that the lake was is good condition but needed protection
to prevent future degradation and eutrophication problems. The Melvern
Water Quality Protection Project is overseen by the Melvern Project Management
Team which consists of representatives from several counties, Flint Hills
RC&D, Wholesale Water District 12, and KDHE. In December of 2000, Paul
Ingle was hired to serve as the full time project coordinator. Paul works
within the watershed to provide information and education to landowners.
Paul''s main task is to get water quality protection measures or best management
practices (BMP's) on the ground in the Melvern Lake watershed. |
