 Oakley Town Hall Conversations II
What
is WRAPS?
Watershed
Restoration &
Protection
Strategy
Involves
Everyone
Kansas is unique
in the fact that
as the citizens
of the state we
are good at
getting things
done on our own
terms. We
work well as
communities and
organizations to
accomplish goals
for the
betterment of
everyone.
Watershed
Restoration and
Protection
Strategy is a
planning and
management
framework that
engages
stakeholders in
a process to:
1.
Identify
watershed
stakeholders:
i.e. cities,
landowners,
businesses,
irrigation
districts,
conservation
districts,
basically
everyone.
2.
Determine
individual
concerns within
the watershed
and consult with
water resource
experts from the
KDHE, EPA, CRCS,
and more to seek
out problem
areas within the
watershed.
3. Goals
will be created
based on
information from
the public and
knowledge of
experts within
the field of
water quality
and watershed
restoration.
Why be involved?
Water is the key
to our future.
It is essential
to life and is
our
responsibility
to take care of
this natural
resource and
preserve it for
future
generations.

Watershed: the land area that

streams, rivers and lakes or to ground water.
Stakeholder: any individual or
organization
that is impacted
positively or
negatively by an action.
Development: stakeholder
recruitment,
