Kansas officials have asked those charged with administering an agreement over Republican River water usage for a quick resolution to the latest dispute between Kansas and Nebraska.Attorney General Stephen Six on Friday asked the Republican River Compact Administration to address within the next 30 days Kansas’ concerns that Nebraska is using more water from the river than allowed under a 65-year-old compact. Six also sent a letter to Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning saying that state needs to remedy the situation. "Kansas has been patient in waiting for Nebraska to take concrete action,” Six wrote. “Nebraska’s failure to comply with the compact and 2002 settlement is hurting Kansas farmers and communities. I am committed to protecting Kansas resources and ensuring our state receives our fair share of water.”
