The states which it rests on are South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas. The depth can range from a few feet to over a thousand feet in some areas. The Ogallala provides roughly 30% of the irrigation water in the US and 82% of the drinking water for residents in the Great Plains region.
