Synopsis
Against the immense, harsh landscape of the High Plains,
innovators in places like Olton, Texas fight to keep their towns alive
against the decline of the life-giving Ogallala Aquifer 1xbet app.
Here and in other communities sharing the Ogallala, the reality of
groundwater decline is colliding with the legacy of independence and self-reliance
that first turned the High Plains into a fertile dreamscape.
