Extractions: Encyclopedia Kansas, state, United States Almost rectangular in shape and mostly part of the Great Plains , Kansas is famous for its seemingly endless fields of ripe golden wheat. The land rises more than 3,000 ft (914 m) from the eastern alluvial prairies of Kansas to its western semiarid high plains, which stretch toward the foothills of the Rocky Mts. The rise is so gradual, however, that it is imperceptible, although the terrains of the east and the west are markedly different. The state is drained by the Kansas and Arkansas rivers, both of which generally run from west to east. Topeka is the capital; other important cities are Wichita (the state's largest city)

Extractions: For two years, Mark Vidovich's consulting job took him to St. Louis for a week of every month. While there, he enjoyed the amenities: the park system, the Cardinals and the Rams, the restaurants. "It's a great place," said Vidovich, who grew up visiting family in St. Louis. "But I prefer to live in Kansas City." Almost 100,000 more people choose to live in Kansas City, population 441,545, than St. Louis, population 348,189, according to 2000 census data released Wednesday. Kansas Citians laud their hometown for its livability, and the census data revealed lots of ways people are more comfortable here than in Missouri's other big city.

Extractions: Encyclopedia Kansas, state, United States Almost rectangular in shape and mostly part of the Great Plains , Kansas is famous for its seemingly endless fields of ripe golden wheat. The land rises more than 3,000 ft (914 m) from the eastern alluvial prairies of Kansas to its western semiarid high plains, which stretch toward the foothills of the Rocky Mts. The rise is so gradual, however, that it is imperceptible, although the terrains of the east and the west are markedly different. The state is drained by the Kansas and Arkansas rivers, both of which generally run from west to east. Topeka is the capital; other important cities are Wichita (the state's largest city), Lawrence , and Kansas City (adjoining Kansas City, Mo.). Points of historical interest include the boyhood home of President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Eisenhower Library in Abilene. Medicine Lodge has the home of Carry Nation , who, at the turn of the 20th cent., waged war on the saloons. Fort Leavenworth is the site of a large federal penitentiary. The Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is one of the few large tracts of virgin prairie in the United States. Sections in this article:

Extractions: My main interests lie in fluvial and glacial geomorphology and the reclamation of disturbed lands. I am currently studying the distribution of metals in floodplain soils of the Blackfoot River, Montana. This research involves mapping channel changes, and determining soil metal levels in lateral and vertical directions in the floodplain at 20 transect locations. I am also interested in the application of GIS and remote sensing technologies in these research areas. Further information on my research is available at the links listed below.

Kansas Water-use Trends Reflect Geography, Weather, And Population

http://www.uswaternews.com/archives/arcsupply/9kanwat6.html

Extractions: U.S. Water News Online LAWRENCE, Kan. Kansans used less water in 1995 than in 1990 for public supplies, irrigation, and industrial purposes, even as overall population increased. Meanwhile, more water was used for livestock during 1995. A newly released fact sheet, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Kansas Water Office (KWO) and funded in part through the State Water Plan Fund, examines population and water-use data for 1990 and 1995 and offers explanations for variations among uses, years, and areas of the state. Withdrawals from ground and surface sources are illustrated for the largest categories of use in Kansas public supply, irrigation, industrial and mining, livestock, and thermoelectric power generation. Comparative data are presented for each of 12 major river basins to illustrate differences in population distribution, water-supply availability, and degree of industrial and agricultural activities in Kansas. About 87 percent of total annual nonpower-related withdrawals in Kansas are for irrigation. Most irrigation use is from groundwater sources in the western part of the state, which is underlain by the High Plains aquifer. All basins where irrigation is a significant use of water showed less use in 1995 than in 1990. About 21 percent less groundwater was used for irrigation in 1995 than in 1990, when drier weather prevailed. Statewide, about 15 percent more surface water was used for irrigation in 1995 than in 1990.

Extractions: Suzanne Otto Woodrow Wilson Elementary School Our Place in the World Woodrow Wilson Elementary School third grades will integrate technology into the curriculum focusing on the theme of our place in the world. Students will complete activities using technology to learn about themselves, the community of Manhattan, and finally will compare and contrast what they have learned to the world. Students will use digital cameras, 35mm disposable cameras, and scanners to develop written and personal electronic portfolios about themselves concerning family and community connections. The portfolios will include name poems, family graphic organizers, and autobiographies. Each student will develop a sense of community through walking field trips around Woodrow Wilson School and the business district of the town of Manhattan. Each student will first research and then integrate graphics and text in a multimedia project about our town. Focus of the projects will include beginning history, geographic areas, business, and commerce. Software will assist students in understanding the needs of a community and how it is able to grow and expand. Back to Technology Integration Project Descriptions learning.usd383.org
