Cheney Reservoir is located in Cheney, KS, and was completed in 1964. It is one of the largest bodies of water in Kansas with a capacity of over 9 billion gallons. The reservoir serves as a primary source of drinking water for the city of Wichita and also provides irrigation and recreational opportunities for surrounding communities. The hydrology of the reservoir is primarily fed by the Ninnescah River and other small streams, with surface flow and snowpack providers playing a small role. Agriculture is a major industry in the area, and the reservoir provides a source of irrigation for crops. Recreational activities include fishing, boating, camping, and hiking. The reservoir has been a popular destination for anglers, with healthy populations of walleye, crappie, and catfish. The area is also home to several campgrounds and parks, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
