## Kansas water use in 2001

**5,617,732** acre-feet reported across **26,776** points — 8% above the 1990–2023 average.

### What 2001 was

Kansas reported **5,617,732** acre-feet in 2001, 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 **26,776**. That
number moves far less than the volume does, in 2001 as in every other year.
