ASTRA
The Applied Science and Technology Reservoir Assessment (ASTRA) Initiative at the Kansas Biological Survey (KBS) was created in 2006 in response to the need for critical information concerning the status and conditions of Kansas reservoirs. KBS has extensive experience in reservoir, stream, and water quality assessment, remote sensing and geospatial technologies. Our expanding reservoir information database will provide state and local officials with the facts needed to make informed decisions about the safety, supply, and reliability of our valuable water resources.
