Conceptualization and Simulation of Groundwater in Boone and Roubidoux Aquifers

| Water Quality | April 06, 2026

Recently a report was issued detailing the health of the Illinois Riverse aquifers. The State of Oklahoma is not proactive in protecting ground water conservation. For instance, residential use of ground water is overly generous. Poultry farms take the advantage of this lapse in regulation. Their use of groundwater is not metered and attempts to meter wells have been vetoed by Governor Stitt.


Thanks to STIR Water Warrior Pam Kingfisher for her Facebook coverage of the recent groundwater meeting at Kansas, Oklahoma and for providing the USGS presentation.
