KANSAS AQUIFER POLICY PRIMER:
Choices for the Future
This issue book provides an issue analysis framework for emerging students and leaders on aquifer policy issues. A seminar and/or expert panel discussion on the policy alternatives can be followed by audience discussion in small groups and a survey process for group reporting of results. Thus, the audience receives an indication of neighbor attitudes and policy preferences. Policy choices involve discussion and compromise on the pathway to future decisions.

Economic Indicators
This quarterly podcast series is our no-nonsense take on today’s economic trends. It’s designed to break down key economic indicators in clear, everyday language—giving a "thumbs up" for positive signs and a "thumbs down" when caution is needed. The goal is to cut through the clutter, keep our community and stakeholders informed, and spark conversations that drive smart policy and real change.
