## Kansas water use in 2000

**6,374,054** acre-feet reported across **26,745** points — 22% above the 1990–2023 average.

### What 2000 was

Kansas reported **6,374,054** acre-feet in 2000, 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 **26,745**. That
number moves far less than the volume does, in 2000 as in every other year.
