Local aquifer control plan aims voluntary nationwide aid
A Kansas committee chaired by Cliff Mayo proposes voluntary, incentive based management of the High Plains Ogallala Aquifer funded by federal money.

The group stresses the aquifer’s variation across eight states and urges broad inclusion in future legislation.
