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. Here and in other communities sharing the Ogallala, the reality of groundwater decline is colliding with the legacy of independence and self-reliance that turned the High Plains into a fertile dreamscape.
