Kansas WRAPS is a collaborative program that brings landowners, local partners, conservation districts, and agencies together to improve water quality across Kansas. A watershed is the land area where rainfall and runoff drain to a common point—often a reservoir or major stream. WRAPS projects are organized around these important water bodies, including watershed areas such as Middle Kansas River, Lower Kansas River, John Redmond, Milford Lake, Tuttle Creek Lake, and many others across the state.

WRAPS supports voluntary, locally led watershed work by providing both financial assistance and technical support to help landowners install effective conservation practices. These efforts focus on reducing pollutants such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment before they reach Kansas streams, rivers, and reservoirs. WRAPS funding is administered by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and supported through federal Clean Water Act Section 319 funding and the Kansas State Water Plan Fund. Together, these investments help communities turn watershed goals into real on-the-ground improvements.
