The High Plains Aquifer comprises eight states of Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota with an area of 175,000 square miles. High Plains Aquifer (HPA) has been the primary source of water supply for irrigation in this region. Groundwater depletion varies across the region of the aquifer due to differences in surface water interaction with groundwater, water recharge, precipitation temperature and hydrological characteristics of the aquifer. With the uncertainty in the future of climate, we expect extreme climatic events such as drought. The drought is associated with dry and hot weather in which irrigation plays a vital …
