• The Ogallala Aquifer Depletion.
• The Ogallala Aquifer underlies approximately 225,000 square miles in the Great Plains region, particularly in the High Plains of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and Nebraska. The depth of the aquifer from the surface of the land, its reate of natural thickness, vary from region to region. The aquifer has long been a major source of water for agricultural, municipal, and industrial development.
• Use of the aquifer began at the turn of the century, and since World War II reliance on it has steadily increased. The withdrawal of this groundwater has now greatly surpassed the aquifer's rate of natural recharge. Some places overlying the aquifer have already exhausted their underground supply as a source of irrigation. ...
• The most recent High Planes-Ogallala Aquifer Regional Resources study was sponsored by the US Department of Commerce (DOC) and was released in mid-1982. ...

• Is the drawdown a national problem? How concerned should national leaders be about the depletion of this aquifer? This question raises a dilemma for some of those immediately affected. While on the one hand there is interest within the states in generating national concern about the "problem," on the other hand, there is a strong desire to keep control of the aquifer and its management at the local and state levels. Because of the local variations in aquifer thickness, people in the region prefer local responses to local changes in the aquifer. ...
