The State of Kansas Governor’s water conference is this week. It’s an effort to save water in the wake of a drought in parts of Kansas, along with aquifers that are drying up. “I always say the sky is not falling. But today is our opportunity to keep it from falling,” said Susan Metzger with Kansas State University. Metzger is announcing a water institute at Kansas State at the university level this week as well that coincided with the state water conference. “The future is critical, and if we don’t protect our water resources here in Kansas, well then our communities, our industries, our livelihood, they have the choice and freedom to move to other places,” said Metzger.
