The aquifer falls under the "tragedy of the commons" situation - a resource with unrestricted demand will eventually doom that resource. Thanks for the info and useful links.Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236595036970226157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-53323364107456747722008-04-16T13:48:00.000-06:002008-04-16T13:48:00.000-06:00I know that you posted this some time ago but I wa...I know that you posted this some time ago but I was just surfing the net in regards to the Ogallala and happened across your Blog. It was in interesting read and did bring up an issue that I had forgotten about. that being the use of water to produce the fuel and the amount of water that is required to grow the corn in the first place. As you know corn is not exactly the most efficient plant when it comes to using water and just wanted you to know that my class today did some discussion today using what I read in your blog. I teach a Johnson Country Community College in the Kansas City area. Thank you for reminding me of an issue that I did know about but had forgotten. Again Thank you<BR/><BR/>John Hanson, <BR/>Professor of Physical Science<BR/>Johnson County Community College<BR/>Overland Park, KS 66210Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826151382853894760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-73988329513070265782008-03-29T12:01:00.000-06:002008-03-29T12:01:00.000-06:00Dear Clair -- After reading Timothy Egan's The Wor...Dear Clair -- <BR/><BR/>After reading Timothy Egan's The Worst Hard TIme, a superlative non-fiction on the American Dust Bowl experience of the 1930s and the National Book Award winner, I set out to explore more information about the Ogallala Aquifer. I appreciate your website among the many resources available to the lay reader. I'm hoping you will share more of your research. We, as an American people, need to be more aggressive in our understanding about how precious this aquifer is to the stability of the globe. <BR/>Sincerely, <BR/>Susie<BR/>St. Louis, MOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024200559736996534.post-39203011124357750292007-10-16T10:33:00.000-06:002007-10-16T10:33:00.000-06:00Dear Clair,Thank you so much for participating in ...Dear Clair,<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for participating in Blog Action Day and for bringing it to our attention. Thank you also for such an informative entry.<BR/><BR/>Please consider submitting it to a few newspapers (virtual as well as old-fashioned) as an article for publication. It's so well written and such an eyeopener, it should be reaching as wide an audience as possible.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again,<BR/><BR/>Jean<BR/>Portland, MEJean (aka Auntie Bucksnort)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09674554298987110017noreply@blogger.com
