MANHATTAN — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released of billions of gallons of water from eastern Kansas reservoirs this summer to support dwindling barge traffic on the drought-stricken Missouri River, which has raised the ire of some who say fuller reservoirs are vital to their businesses.
State officials also have questioned the benefit of releasing water from Perry, Tuttle Creek and Milford reservoirs, where tourism brings in hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
