ST. JOHN, Kansas — Water — who gets to use it, when and how — sparks fights all over the world.
The latest battleground is in south-central Kansas, near the federally operated Quivira National Wildlife Refuge.
In its simplest form, it’s a clash between the refuge, which isn’t getting its legal share of water, and the local farmers who may be forced to cut back on how much water they use on their crops.
