Are we borrowing from tomorrow’s groundwater to power today’s algorithms?

Welcome to the Ogallala Aquifer Tracker—a Toolbox designed to keep the public informed using credible data from local, state, and federal agencies and a set of tools to assist those who demand accountability from data centers. We give you the exact tools you need to track Aquifer strain and take a deep dive into the health of our basin including a forecast out to 2050.

As a subscriber, your toolbox includes full access to:

• The Interactive Timeline: Watch the aquifer’s progression from a stable 1950 baseline to a projected, critical 2050 status.
• The Data Center Watch Log: Follow 26 facility, campus-group and proposal records across the High Plains and surrounding region, plus 2 separately labeled watchlist / research records.
• The Monitoring Well Library: Explore 28 distinct community profiles mapping real-world water table declines and drinking water quality.
• Community Advocacy Guidelines: Access actionable frameworks and standards you can share with local, state, and federal representatives to demand accountability.

My goal is simple: to spur open, public discussion grounded in hard data about our precious Aquifer. You would honor me by subscribing to the platform and joining this effort. I remain incredibly grateful for your patronage and support.
