Keep that up...........and you'll soon be out of water. Like us...........and the TX panhandle, and a good chunk of Western Kansas.
Nah. Some of our ground is irrigated from a canal out of the Missouri river. The rest is out of two creeks and three wells. After pumping for 140 days straight in 2021, our biggest well (1600 GPM+) recovered to a higher static water level than when I started it in the spring in less than 15 minutes. SWL follows the level of Canyon Ferry Reservoir (also Missouri river) with a two day lag.
Just finalized a 40 year contract with the BOR for 2.5 acre feet per year for another 960 acres with the option to expand up to 2500 acres. Will start pouring concrete for our pump station next month if all goes well. |
