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.

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...
