10 University Daily Kansan / Tuesday, October 8, 1991 Kansas lakes help fill Missouri rivers Low levels necessitate water release from Perry, Milford, Tuttle Creek lakes By William Ramsey Kansan staff writer A little water from Kansas may be what floats Missouri's boats. That is, it will if a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plan to release three feet of water each from Perry, Tuttle Creek and Milford lakes is successful. Commercial barges that use the Mississippi and Missouri rivers cannot navigate properly unless their water is at a certain level, said Dennis Archer, the corps project manager at PerryLake. Therefore, the corps, which owns the three Kansas River basin reservoirs, will release water that will travel to the Missouri River and eventually to the Mississippi River. The Kansas River in an effort to make up for low water levels. Archer said. The federal government requires the corps to facilitate transportation on waterways and the corps have an agreement with the state to not drain corps' lakes more than three feet a season, he said. The lakes were chosen because, unlike Clinton Lake west of Lawrence, the rights to water in the three reservoirs not been completely sold. Clinton, along with the Kansas River, supplies Lawrence's water. Water-release operations at Perry, which is about 15 miles northwest of Lawrence, and Milford and Tuttle Creek, which arearent Manhattan, will be reopened November. Archer said. The process may have to be repeated in the future. "That will continue as long as the regional drought continues," he said. The release of water from Tuttle Creek and Milford lakes began last week. The corps will begin releasing water this week from Perry, he said. "That does not affect the state of Kansas or water users." Archer said. He said municipalities and utilities drew their water from the streams that flowed from the lakes, not from the lakes themselves. However, the wetland areas, which support wildlife at each of the lakes, probably will be affected, said Steve Hawks, regional fisheries and wildlife supervisor for the Kansas Wildlife and Parks Department. "A number of historical wetland areas which have occurred in the fall months just won't be there," he said. Hawks said aquatic life, animals near the lakes and fowl that rest in the habitats during migration might be "It's definitely not a good idea, but from a commercial-barge trafficker's opinion, I'm sure it is," he said. affected. Tom Stiles, operations manager with the Kansas Water Office and a stream-flow design expert, said the office had expressed its concern about the environmental impact of the draining. In addition to wildlife, those whose the lakes for recreational purposes will be affected because of the lower water levels, he said. However, Stiles said nothing could be done until the drought in the Kansas River basin and upper basin of the Missouri River ended. "We're going to keep running into this situation," he said.
