This Open File Report, 2003-22, serves to reference the results of the Kansas Geological Survey's contract with the Kansas Department of Agriculture's, Division of Water Resources Contract No 1500. The Kansas Geological Survey compiled these maps using what is thought to be the most reliable information available. The Kansas Geological Survey does not guarantee these maps to be free from errors or inaccuracies and disclaims any responsibility or liability for interpretations based on data used in the production of these maps or decisions based thereon. These maps are intended to make results of research available at the earliest possible date, but are not intended to constitute final or formal publication.
Scope of Work Develop maps similar to and based upon data developed in the KGS Open File Report 2002-25 series with emphasis on the Middle Arkansas River Basin. These maps and data sources shall include: |
|
