===On the river=== * '''Kansas City:''' A few yards downstream from the [[Interstate 435|I-435]] bridge, a [[weir]] diverts water to an intake for WaterOne. Portage access is on the left bank. * '''Lawrence:''' Bowersock Dam is the largest obstruction on the river. It serves not only to create a standing pool for one of Lawrence's municipal water intakes (the other is at [[Clinton Lake (Kansas)|Clinton Lake]]), but also to create a [[Hydraulic head|head]] for the Bowersock Mills & Power Company. At this site, the Bowersock Mills & Power Company operates the only [[Hydroelectricity|hydroelectric]] [[power station]] in Kansas: a 2.5-megawatt low-impact hydropower facility.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hydro.org/policy/technology/small-hydro/|title=Small Hydro|date=2019|website=National Hydropower Association|language=en-US|access-date=2019-09-28}}</ref> The [[University of Kansas]]'s [[rowing (sport)|rowing]] team uses the pool for its exercises. Portage access is on the left bank. * '''Tecumseh:''' An easily navigable low head weir diverts water to the Tecumseh power plant, just downstream from Topeka. * '''Topeka:''' A Topeka water department dam diverts water to the right bank for a municipal water intake. Portage access is on the left bank.
