“Running Out” - Thomas Co Dems Talk Groundwater at March 14th Meeting

Post-Script - Meeting Notes from Thomas County:

We had a cozy and informative presentation March 14th on groundwater management in northwest Kansas, with special guest, Shannon Kenyon, District Manager of Groundwater Management District 4 in NW Kansas. We had some fascinating oral history from people involved in the early days, both before and after Shannon’s presentation - enjoy the video.
