Webster Reservoir
Webster Reservoir is a reservoir in Rooks County, Kansas, United States.〔 Built and managed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, it is used for flood control, irrigation, and recreation.〔 Webster State Park is located on its shore.〔
==History==
Construction of Webster Dam and Reservoir was approved as part of the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program. Following the Great Flood of 1951, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation determined the project could provide additional flood control and irrigation support to the region. Contractors started construction in March 1953, but a combination of funding problems and adverse weather caused multiple delays over the following years.〔 The project's namesake, the small community of Webster, laid within the reservoir's intended basin and had to be relocated roughly to the southeast. Water storage in the reservoir began May 3, 1956, and the Webster project became formally operational September 1, 1956.
Area residents successfully organized Webster Irrigation District No. 4 and obtained a water right in December 1956. Construction of downstream irrigation infrastructure, including a diversion dam near Woodston, Kansas and the Osborne Canal, began in July 1957 and finished in April 1961.〔
