The Ogallala Aquifer that runs through eight states is quickly running dry. It supplies water to the American Breadbasket of the Great Plains, which is an agricultural region that feeds much of the world.
“We’re headed for a brick wall at 100 miles per hour,” states James Mahan, a plant physiologist at the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service lab in Lubbock, TX.

May be we should all go across the boulder ?
Reroute the Mississippi it floods every one out down river ! Come on let take control of this kind of stuff! Really? Dig a dam ditch!
Who is using up the water?
Quit blaming start fixing! Your Americans! We fought two world wars at once ! My grandmother made planes while grandfather was shooting them down! BUILT the Hoover dam! Come on this isn’t the land of the whinny Bitches! People fix it !
I remember reading somewhere that the government is going to sell our fresh water to the Chinese. which doesn’t make sense if we are running out of water
this is not good people conserve water
There are some things in this article that are worded wrong. T. Boone Pickens sold his water rights. Thus allowing him to drill down into the aquifer and sell the water that would have given water to the other parts of the state. This is not the same thing as capturing water from rain water. Selling water rights doesn’t have anything to do with the right to capture rain water off the roof of your house in order to water your plant life. The State of Texas is trying to legislate the right to capture rain water. By wording this article in such a way you will cause a bunch of crazed idiots to agree with the legislature to prevent rain water capture.
sstiles, exactly right. Most who read this UN EPA scewed article will jump right on that rights stealing legislation without a second thought. Americans have lost many of their GOD GIVEN rights this way. We’re about to lose our property rights to it.
If people would just stop wasting it,you don’t need all these big swimming pools and always washing their cars
Pray for rain
