Vast Ogallala aquifer under Northern Plains feeds 225000 sq miles of semi arid land, supporting major crop and cattle production while the table falls three feet yearly. Michigan governor Millicent Milliken predicts next 20 years will rival oil crisis, with dry states buying water from Great Lakes states as western consumption soars.
