The Ogallala Aquifer and The Sandhills of Nebraska - One of the most unique geographic features in North America, the Sandhills of Nebraska contain hundreds of feet of water saturated course sand and gravel. Below the surface is one of the largest water reserves in North America – The Ogallala Aquifer. This enormous sand formation is a huge sponge that absorbs rain and snowfall and as witnessed in 2020 once saturated water flows out of the hills feeding the hay meadows. Nearly half of the annual precipitation percolates downward into this remarkable underground pool.
