由于目前的供水不能充分满足2010年以后的需求，堪萨斯州威奇托市采用了综合资源规划（IRP）流程来制定长期水资源计划。该计划在环境、社会和经济上都为社区所接受，并在“可用”的基础上全面利用城市的当地水资源。除了水资源保护和流域管理外，该计划的关键要素还包括使用三氯乙烯修复和高氯化物地下水、来自阿肯色州小河的基流（过量）流量、当地井场的扩建，以及对现有主要水源Equalus Beds井场的补给。 在过去40年中，灌溉工、工业和市政部门的过度抽水导致了马库斯井田的水位下降，该井田可容纳100 bil gal的水。补给含水层可以补充地下水储量，并最大限度地减少流入井场的氯化物污染水。包括16个参考文献、表格和图表。

Because current supplies will not adequately meets its needs beyond 2010, the City of Wichita, Kansas, applied the integrated resource planning (IRP) process to develop a long term water resource plan. The plan is environmentally, socially, and economically acceptable to the community and holistically uses the city's local water resources on an "as-available" basis. Key elements of the plan in addition to water conservation and watershed management are use of trichloroethylene-remediated and high-chloride groundwater, above-base (excess) flow from the Little Arkansas River, expansion of a local wellfield, and recharge of a primary existing water source called the Equus Beds Wellfield. Overpumping by irrigators, industries, and municipalities during the last 40 years caused a drawdown storage volume in the Equus Bed Wellfield, which can hold 100 bil gal of water. Recharging the aquifer replenishes groundwater storage and minimizes flow of chloride-contaminated water into the wellfield. Includes 16 references, tables, figures.
