The Ogallala Aquifer supplies water to the Great Plains, supporting agriculture in this region.

The Ogallala Aquifer is one of the largest underground water sources in the world, mostly providing water to the Great Plains in the United States. It extends across eight states, including parts of Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, and Colorado, and is essential for irrigating the area's agriculture. The Great Plains is known for growing crops such as wheat, corn, and cotton, as well as for livestock farming. However, excessive use of the Ogallala Aquifer for irrigation is leading to a decline in its water levels, which raises concerns about the future availability of water for agriculture and local communities. Implementing sustainable water management practices is vital for the region's future.
