What is the predicted future for the Ogallala aquifer?

The Ogallala Aquifer was created when rainfall would run down prairie dog holes into the aquifer. That ended with the destruction of the prairie dogs and even increased with the creation of water rights. As a result, the lack of water retained upstream prevents the renewing of the aquifer. So the natural renewing of the aquifer has been greatly decreased. In addition people have been pumping water from the aquifer for crops. Instead of using the drip irrigation method developed in Israel which produces far more per acre, they have used older techniques and have wasted water. This pumping for inefficient irrigation techniques has caused a drop in the aquifer. To the south the cities have used the water from the aquifer. As it flows downhill, this has caused additional loss of water. The aquifer will continue to drop until the wells required to reach it become deeper and deeper. The Federal Government will tax water rights so that part of the water rebuild the aquifer. There will come a point when it will become too expensive for a number of people to continue to draw water from it. The cities will realize it is a finite source. They will restrict lawn watering and use reverse osmosis. At that point it will stabilize. (Maybe)
