consumer. Mixing of different types of water can also avoid unnecessary loss of
water resources or depletion of water supplies currently available to the various
consumers.
Acceptance of the full-scale IWRM solution would lead to reclamation of the
storage capacity of the deep aquifer, which is presently saturated with salt water,
and develop more reliably adequate water supplies for agricultural use and
wildlife habitat.
The IWRM solution envisioned is flexible enough to support a larger number
of rural and urban communities or a growing population. It would also supply the
resource and management base needed to incorporate artificial future freshwater
resources, such as desalination plants with deep well injection of waste brine into
depleted oil reservoirs.

Dr. D.O. Whittemore contributed to the project as a co-investigator. Mark
Schoneweis, Melany Miller, and Sharon Vaughn provided staff support. The
Mineral Intrusion studies were funded in part by the Kansas Water Plan Fund.
