Mornin' Ron,

Well, yes and no. Water works a little differently than oil or coal deposits do & it depends upon the particular region in question.

We, in this part of the country, pump from anywhere from 180 to 600'. At these depths, monitoring stations measure ground water temps.

In this region, these temps show that the recharge will always hit that aquifer within 48 hours. This is a documented fact & this is how the water tables are now being governed by the different states involved.

But, like you say though and I agree, the problem lies in the amount coming out vs the amount being recharged. Too many holes in the ground!

That Ogallala Aquifer, which used to be a huge four-state underground ocean is shrinking and it is shrinking fast.
