The ogllala aquifer is a water table aquifer located in the plains of the U.S.

It is considered as one of the worlds largest aquifers.it is the major source of water for drinking and irrigation. In ogllala water can be found upto a depth of few feet to 1200 feet.

Due to over exploitation of water from it, the water levels have declined to a great extent and ogllala is actually disappearing and has already dried out at some places.
