Now it's a 108'. The impermeable clay layer is at 120'.
Another 30 or 40 years pumps in use now won't be able to pickup any water.

I had a great aunt who lived west of Lubbock,Texas,in Lorenzo.During my 4-years at Texas Tech,some of the cotton farmers there,saw their V-8 powered water pumps suck sand.They'd depleted their reach of the Ogallala Aquifer (too big to fail)
Overnight,one by one,they became dry-land farmers.The day before, it would have been 'impossible'.
