Why a lot of farmers in the us disturb one of the largest aquifers in the World

"Every summer the US Central Plains go dry, leading farmers to tap into groundwater to irrigate sorghum, soy, cotton, wheat, and corn, and maintain large herds of cattle and hogs. As the heat rises, anxious irrigators gather to discuss whether and how they should adopt more stringent conservation measures.

They know that if they do not conserve, the Ogallala Aquifer, the source of their prosperity, will go dry. ..."

Water is an essential element on this planet. especially fresh, not salted, water.

Water buffering and protection is necessary. Because of the study of hydrology we now a lot about water and how to handle it. Food Forests have the capacity to buffer their own water by building up a sort of jungle. The natural jungle shows us to way to deal with drought.
