Hi I'm Cole Jones, and I am a scientist here to visit Ogallala aquifer. The Ogallala spreads from South Dakota to Texas or the Great Plains. It's the largest source of fresh water found underground. The Ogallala Aquifer is basically a giant sponge. Playas are deposits of rain caught in clay depressions. Eventually the rainwater works its way down from the playas to the Ogallala. Around the Ogallala you will find a large variety of agriculture. For example, cattle ranchers & farmers. Both of these use the Ogallala as a water source for either their cattle or their
crops. Because of widespread irrigation, farming accounts for 94 percent of the groundwater use. The Ogallala is the main source of water for the Great Plains. It is believed that the Ogallala is one of the largest aquifers in the world. I also live in the Great Plains, so I depend greatly on the Ogallala Aquifer as a water source.
This is an example of a Playa.
