Controversy Over Two-Pool Plan for Ogallala Aquifer
About 80 irrigators, landowners, and officials gathered in Scott City to discuss a proposed two-pool concept for the Ogallala Aquifer. They debated usable and conservation pools, who allocates water, and how to balance risk with economic needs amid uncertain depths and state control fears. Stakeholders urged involvement, efficiency, and flexible planning as December to March meetings roll out and a April decision looms.
