I think you are looking for the Ogallala Aquifer. An Aquifer is an underground layer of water/water permiable rock which we can drill into for wells and/or bodies of water. They can be used by farmers for irrigation or home owners for drinkable water.
The Ogallala Aquifer is one of the largest in the world it stretches from South Dakota to Texas. 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.
