Kansas Water Office asks for new water‑planning, reservoir‑sediment funds; committee reviews reappropriations The Kansas Water Office requested new lines for regional water planning and reservoir sediment management and identified roughly $7.9 million in state water plan reappropriations; the agency proposed lapsing $1.135 million in lower‑priority carryforwards to help fund planning while committee members pressed pension (KPERS) contribution and reappropriation questions.

The Kansas Water Office is calling for new funding to tackle critical water planning and sediment management as they respond to the challenges of shrinking reservoir capacity.

State and federal agencies report strong early water-year inflows, dynamic Delta operations Department of Water Resources and Bureau of Reclamation briefed the State Water Board on Jan. 6: early 2026 precipitation and reservoir storage are above average in many areas, snowpack is uneven (Northern Sierra lagging), and Delta export and OMR operations remain dynamic under fisheries and facility constraints.

California's water-year 2026 kicks off with impressive reservoir gains, but a lagging Northern Sierra snowpack raises concerns for future water management.

State Water Board hears multi‑agency hydrologic update as reservoirs run above average Department of Water Resources and Bureau of Reclamation officials told the State Water Resources Control Board that statewide precipitation is running well above average with uneven snowpack and dynamic reservoir operations; panelists warned of forecast uncertainty for January–March and described Delta export management under OMR constraints.

California is experiencing a dramatic 154% above-average precipitation, but with mixed snowpack conditions and uncertain forecasts, the water management landscape is anything but stable.
