The northern Ogallala Aquifer is being depleted at an alarming rate due to over-pumping for agricultural and industrial purposes. If the current rate of depletion continues, the aquifer could be depleted within the next 50 years. This would have a devastating effect on the region, as the aquifer is the primary source of water for many communities in the area. Without the aquifer, many of these communities would be left without a reliable source of water.
