## Kansas water use in 1993

**3,525,238** acre-feet reported across **23,540** points — 32% below the 1990–2023 average.

### What 1993 was

Kansas reported **3,525,238** acre-feet in 1993, against a
1990–2023 average of 5,214,505. Reported use follows the weather far
more than anything else, so a single year says more about rainfall than
about policy — which is why every page on this site shows the whole
series rather than a comparison between two years.

The count of points reporting any use was **23,540**. That
number moves far less than the volume does, in 1993 as in every other year.
