The Ogallala Aquifer Is Dying – As The Largest Supply Of Groundwater In The United States Vanishes
Gigantic underground aquifers are being rapidly depleted all over the world, and once that water is gone, it will take a very long time for it to come back. In fact, in some areas of the United States, the recharge rate is less than an inch per year.
