"Millions of years ago, sediment from the Rocky Mountains was deposited in the High Plains. Over thousands of years, water dripped below the surface creating an underground water deposit called the Ogallala Aquifer. The water — which spans from South Dakota to Texas and was once the size of Lake Huron — at one point accounted for 30% of the crop and animal production in the U.S…
Although the water source stretches across several states it moves very very slowly. As a result, no interstate compact exists to manage the water in the Ogallala. Instead, neighbors have to band together if they want to restrict pumping…”

With the #Ogallala #Aquifer drying up, Kansas ponders limits to irrigation (apr23)

#Water levels in the Ogallala Aquifer continue to plummet as farm #irrigation swallows an average of more than 2 billion gallons of #groundwater per day statewide. But after decades of mostly inaction from #Kansas leaders, the state’s approach to water conservation might finally be starting to shift.

National Climate Assessment: Great Plains’ Ogallala Aquifer drying out

The Ogallala Aquifer has supported agricultural needs in multiple states for decades, but the aquifer is being drained faster than it is being replenished.
