Do you think this estimate is realistic? What factors could cause the High
Plains Aquifer to run out of water sooner than your estimate? What will be an ideal response?
No, the estimate is not realistic. The aquifer is not the same thickness throughout, so
some areas will run out of water before others. If the climate becomes drier or the rate
of withdrawal increases, the aquifer will be depleted more quickly.
