"In the 1950s, it was thought the water in the Ogallala Aquifer was inexhaustible. More and more wells were drilled to reach the aquifer and new delivery methods revolutionized farming.
But unlike surface water such as that found in a river, with a relatively quick recharge from rain and snow, the groundwater in the Ogallala Aquifer is prehistoric. It is recharged on a geological time scale. Now we know the aquifer is not inexhaustible."
