- Reports, data, and presentation on sand and gravel pits in Wichita in response to Senate Bill 364 and related to the Groundwater Quality Task Force.
- PlumeBusters
- An interactive simulator in which students take on the role of an environmental consultant to solve a contamination problem.
- Karst Map Project
- Karst features in carbonate and evaporite-bearing rocks pose significant engineering hazards and challenges for the protection of water supplies from contamination in parts of Kansas.
- Ponds
- A research initiation website exploring the role of small, artificial water impoundments in landscape-scale biogeochemistry and biocomplexity
- Dakota Aquifer Program
- An online version of the results of the Kansas Geological Survey's investigation of the Dakota aquifer is online. The site includes an overview of the aquifer, archives of data used in the study, and web versions of study reports.
- Upper Arkansas River Corridor Study
- This study is evaluating the fate and transport of the dissolved solids that are contaminating the ground-water resources of the High Plains aquifer in the Arkansas River corridor.
- Equus Beds Mineral Intrusion Project
- A cooperative study of the potential for salt contamination of public water supplies in the Equus Beds by the Kansas Geological Survey, the Equus Beds Groundwater Management District No. 2, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
