Harvesting rainfall is becoming increasingly necessary in areas where recharge is nearly impossible and the water table is shallow. To effectively manage this deluge, it is essential to consider topography, large-scale watershed systems, and minor historical traces of water flow, such as draws. This vision requires collaborative management of resources between neighbours at a scale beyond just a single property. Reading the High Plains Aquifer environment through a watershed-geological lens is only complete by considering the final component of precipitation. p
