Groundwater management districts (GMDs) were granted the authority in 2012, through K.S.A. 82a1041, to recommend the approval of Local Enhanced Management Areas (LEMAs) to the chief engineer of the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Division of Water Resources. A LEMA is a tool that allows GMDs to set goals and control measures to aid in water conservation, at the approval of the chief engineer.
