Star-Telegram | 02/12/2006 | World's largest aquifer going dry
 

...The Ogallala Aquifer, the vast underground pool that supplies faucets across the Great Plains, is running low, forcing farmers and towns to find other sources of water and pay dearly for it, too...."Out here, water is like gold," Mayor Ed Wiltse said as he ran his hands over a chart of the town's faltering wells. "Without it, we perish."....The Ogallala is the world's largest underground water system, irrigating one-third of the United States' corn crops and providing drinking water to parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming...But some water experts have said it is one of the fastest-disappearing aquifers in the world....
