## Kansas water use in 2014

**4,979,459** acre-feet reported across **26,647** points — 5% below the 1990–2023 average.

### What 2014 was

Kansas reported **4,979,459** acre-feet in 2014, 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 **26,647**. That
number moves far less than the volume does, in 2014 as in every other year.
