New maps reveal bedrock depth in Ogallala aquifer region
Kansas Geological Survey released a new book with maps showing bedrock depth beneath the Ogallala Aquifer. The data, based on 22,535 new drilling records, may alter groundwater estimates, affect land values, and influence state water policy for decades. The study notes the aquifer is about a foot shallower overall, with larger shifts for southwest Kansas farmers, changing where wells are most productive and how water rights are allocated.
