[Oe List ...] Aquifer question?

[jonzondo at juno.com]

What I do know from Sierra club reading that I've done is that it takes a long time for the aquifers to fill up because it slowly drains down through all the different kinds of soil and rock.  The water that runs off through the river system simply moves downstream.

Good question??  The Ogallala aquifer has been being drained for irrigation 
in the Nebraska area.  I don't know about what is under Iowa.  I don't know 
if the rains even get there or if they just run off into the rivers.  Do we 
have an aquifer expert in the house?
