The ASR Project - Wichita Area's Water Supply through 2050 During the past decade, the City of Wichita in south-central Kansas has examined the future of our principal sources of public water supply--the Equus Beds Aquifer and Cheney Reservoir. City planners found that the water-use appropriations in place for these two sources during the 1980's, if continued, would result in insufficient water to meet the expected needs of the city beyond 2010.  The Aquifer Recovery and Storage Project is nationally acclaimed and an award-winning project, that is setting a precedent for other municipalities to follow suit.
