Abstract

ABSTRACT: Similar groundwater problems associated with the Ogallala in western Oklahoma are beginning to affect aquifers much farther east. A rapid decline in the water table has been detected in Caddo County, Oklahoma. Ninety‐six percent of the groundwater resources used in Caddo County are used for irrigation. Severe consequences for farmers, especially peanut growers, are possible in the near future.
