| Thanks for the link! I agree with your comments.
The second map showing the declines by each state is the most telling. The areas of decline in Nebraska are very small when compared to the other states overlying the Ogallala. Yes it is very significant if you are in those areas but small relative to the overall aquifer in Nebraska.
The artcle I referenced in the Nebraska Farmer generalized the whole state and the accuracy of the article and the USGS data accuracy could be questioned but I'm not going to waste a bunch of time vetting their data to win an Internet forum debate!
In general the state of Nebraska is in a much better position with the health of our shared water resource than the states to the south of us. It is a very sensitive and political issue to deal with but how we manage it will be the legacy we leave our future generations of farmers in the state.
By the way I aplogize for misspelling Ogallala in the original post, I stink at hen pecking on an iPad. | |
