It Takes A Village — And A Lot Of Money — To Save An Aquifer

Water is a vital resource, especially on the farm fields that grow our food. Much of Colorado's food is grown in the San Luis Valley, a high desert that receives less than 7" of water annually, but sits on top of a gigantic aquifer.   Across the Great Plains of the Midwest, many farm communities face dwindling water supplies.  In the San Luis Valley, that spurred farmers to take up a bold experiment. Harvest Public Media’s Luke Runyon traveled to the area to see if the experiment is working.  (Photo:  Luke Ruynon / Harvest Public Media)
