Use the Ogallala Data Directory (ODD) to discover natural resource and agriculture-related data for the Ogallala aquifer region. ODD exists to serve as a go-to resource for land managers, researchers, and others working in or studying the Ogallala aquifer region. To access the data directory, see the link here: Ogallala Water - Data Management Portal (colostate.edu).
The Ogallala Aquifer (OA) is a groundwater source beneath 111 million acres of Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. It provides water for aquatic, riparian, range, and agricultural ecosystems as well as approximately 1.9 million people. The various social, economic, and ecological challenges of managing the aquifer are expected to increase with climate change. Hotter, drier summers are expected to increase already unsustainable demands on the aquifer’s water. There has been little success in reducing the rate of depletion, in spite of a preponderance of data available to support research, resource management, and outreach. Prior to this project, there was no single...

The Ogallala Aquifer (OA) underlies about 170,000 square miles (111 million acres) of Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico, including about 1.9 million acres of tribal lands and 2.9 million acres of federal lands. Water from the aquifer is vital to regional aquatic, riparian, range, and agricultural ecosystems. These shapefiles show all active water wells in counties that are included in the Ogallala Aquifer Region. They are current as of June 2022.
