| Earth Awareness Research for Tomorrow's Habitat (E.A.R.T.H.) |
This project facilitates the implementation of a yearlong teaching
curriculum for soil, water, air science and living resources. The curriculum
correlates with the Kansas Science Education Standards, Fourth Working
Draft, April 1999. Funding is used to support a coordinator and enhance
water quality protection education.... A two day long workshop/festival
will give opportunities for classes to show what they have learned from
the curriculum. The program will be executed in priority watersheds in
Sedgwick County. |
| Golf Course Water Quality Protection Demonstration Site Selection |
This project is designed to develop a list of golf courses (2 or 3)
in the Wichita Area which would be accommodating to the idea of implementing
water quality protection measures on their courses with some water or other
monitoring incorporated in to the agreement. |
| Golf Course Water Quality Protection Implementation Demonstration &
Technical Assistance |
This project will result in water quality protection plans for two
golf courses in the Wichita, KS area, Rolling Hills and Willow Bend. These
were selected through a process from an earlier project (Golf Course Site
Selection NPS k2 -025). The tasks of the project will include: 1) potential
pollutant source inventory, 2) identification of existing practices, 3)
monitoring of both water chemistry and aquatic life and 4) pre and post
application of water quality protection measures or best management systems
to protect the local water resources. There will be some nonpoint source
pollution demonstration funds available to the golf course (signage for
the specific practice required). The golf courses will also be the site
of a brochure WSU produced for the Braeburn Golf Course on the WSU campus.
All water samples will be taken as grab samples. Southern Illinois University
will be analyzing for pesticides used on the premises, while WSU will use
HACH kits for alkalinity, ammonia, chloride, BOD, Hardness, nit |

| Restoration of Gypsum Creek |
The objectives of this project are multiple in nature in a 3 to 5 year
time span. First, there is water quality monitoring for pre water quality
protection/habitat enhancement. Secondly there will be modeling done to
develop recommendations for City of Wichita and the team to approve for
implementation. Some local stream restoration I&E will also be implemented
through public meetings etc. In phase 2, the next grant project period,
the construction and implementation will begin. |

| Subsurface Drip Irrigation to Protect Shallow Groundwater Quality |
Subsurface Drip irrigation is being considered a cutting edge technology
for irrigation producers. Reduced evaporation, runoff and more efficient
nutrient application are positive aspects of the practice. However, in
shallow groundwater circumstances, there will be fine-tuning, which needs
to be demonstrated. The project area includes the Equus Beds, which supplies
much of the public water in the area. A monitoring strategy will be developed
to evaluate ground and surface water impacts. This is a 5-year project
through the Sedgwick County Extension. |
