The Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas is hoping a new reservoir will relieve its water woes.

For the past several years, the tribe has suffered from drought conditions. Chairman Steve Cadue said this year looks to be the same.

In 1998, Congress authorized a water reservoir that would help the reservation. The tribe is seeking local support but is running into some opposition from local landowners.
