Dramatic article describing in great detail how the Ogallala Aquifer

beneath eight (8) states in the Great Plains, the breadbasket of the United States and a good portion of the world, is being depleted at an astonishing rate. It’s fossil water 10 million years old, and rain does not recharge it. Incidentally, aquifer depletion is not limited to the U.S. China and India, to name two, are having similar problems. Clearly, the world is facing a catastrophe. Food production will decline just as the population explodes to an estimated 9 billion by 2050.
