Kansas State team to study Wakarusa River pollution
LAWRENCE — Kansas State University researchers plan to use a federal grant to find the source of pollution in the Wakarusa River, which feeds the reservoir that supplies drinking water to Lawrence and Douglas County. The $550,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture will fund a research project to track sources of fecal coliform bacteria, which is often an indicator of other pollutants in a waterway.
"Hopefully, this work here is going to help us understand a little better what we need to focus on — and what we don't need to focus on— in terms of cleaning up the water," said Kyle Mankin, the Kansas State researcher leading the project.
The Wakarusa feeds the Clinton Reservoir, which is important not only for drinking water but for recreation, said Bill Hargrove, director of Kansas State's Kansas Center for Agricultural Resources and the Environment. The researchers will use a new technique to track the source of fecal coliform in the river. They will study various bacteria's resistance to certain antibiotics. Because different antibiotics are used to treat humans, livestock and pets, the resistance level should indicate where much of the contamination is coming from.
