    The Ogallala Aquifer (oh-gə-LAH-lə) is a shallow water table aquifer surrounded by sand, silt, clay, and gravel located beneath the Great Plains in the United States. As one of the world's largest aquifers, it underlies an area of approximately 174,000 sq mi (450,000 km 2) in portions of eight states (South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas).

    Where the aquifer is thickly confined, less dissolution occurs and transmissivity tends to be lower. In the first regional map depicting transmissivity variation across the aquifer, Miller (1986) showed that transmissivity values exceed 250,000 ft 2 /d (23,000 m 2 /d) where the aquifer system is either unconfined or thinly confined. In areas ...

    Edwards and Trinity Aquifers map. The Edwards Aquifer is one of the most prolific artesian aquifers in the world. [2] Located on the eastern edge of the Edwards Plateau in the U.S. state of Texas, it is the source of drinking water for two million people, and is the primary water supply for agriculture and industry in the aquifer's region.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surficial_aquifer

    Surficial aquifers are shallow aquifers typically less than 50 feet (15 m) thick, but larger surficial aquifers of about 60 feet (18 m) have been mapped. They mostly consist of unconsolidated sand enclosed by layers of limestone, sandstone or clay and the water is commonly extracted for urban use.

    The water drains relied on gravity, with the destination lower than the source, which is typically an upland aquifer. allows water to be transported long distances in hot dry climates without losing a large proportion of the source water to seepage and evaporation.
