摘要

The grain-growing region of the High Plains of America—known as America's breadbasket—relies entirely on the Ogallala Aquifer. But long term unsustainable use of the aquifer is forcing states in the region to face the prospect of a regional economicdisaster. As the High Plains states reach the verge of a major crisis, the states have taken different approaches to conservation with varying results.The Ogallala Aquifer supports an astounding one-sixth of the world's grain produce, and it has long been an essential component of American agriculture. The High Plains region—where the aquifer lies—relies on the aquifer for residential and industrialuses, but the aquifer's water is used primarily for agricultural irrigation. The agricultural demands for Ogallala water in the region are immense, with the aquifer ultimately being responsible for thirty percent of all irrigation in the United States. The Ogallala Aquifer has long been unable to keep up with these agricultural demands, as the aquifer recharges far slower than water is withdrawn.
