Kansas State University is continuing community visits across the state and invites residents of Ellis County for a special afternoon focused on water education and conservation.
The “Know Your Water” event will take place on November 18, starting at 2 p.m. at the Agricultural Research Center in Hays. Organizers say that participants will have the chance to learn about water systems, efficient irrigation techniques, and non-point source pollution.
“We want our residents to see these demonstrations first-hand and to hear about science-based water management strategies. K-State will use this visit to help everyone dive deeper into the important topic of water,” said Stacie Minson, an extension watershed specialist with K-State Research and Extension.
This community visit will feature experts from the university and Extension who will lead the hands-on showcases and demonstrations. Participants will also have a tour of Pleasant View Farms, where water quality improvements have been put into action.
The continuation of K-State’s community visits shows the university’s commitment to prioritizing engagement and driving partnerships that address real-world challenges — whether through educational outreach, innovative research or service programs that benefit the people and industries of Kansas.
Community visit events are free and open to all Kansans, including community members, leaders and industry partners. Those interested can go to bit.ly/KWY-visit to register.
