High Plains Water Rules Aim to Curb Ogallala Use
The High Plains Underground Water District votes to require farmers to monitor and limit groundwater use starting 2015. About 325 billion gallons yearly are drawn from the Ogallala Aquifer, which sustains one fifth of US cotton, wheat, corn, and cattle production across eight states. The 18 inch per acre cap, possible crop-specific exemptions, and phased tracking push new farming and conservation practices amid farmer concerns that the water belongs to future owners.
