"The Texas High Plains has received some bad hype In recent years concerning Its water resources. Artlcleswere published in the mainstream media stating that the Ogallala Aquifer would run dry by 1980, and then by 2000, and then by 2020. Even though some localized depletion of the aquifer is expected, the region Is not likely to run out of water within the 50-year planning hOrizon,· he sa~.

The quantity of ground water currently in storage i"the Ogallala Formation within the 21-county water planning region Is 106 million acre-feet. This Is expected to decline to 84, million acre feet by 2020 and to 61. million acre feet by 2050. (An acre foot of water equals 325,851 gallons of water.)

Your family is more than a commodity. Theylre your life.

Large corporations are buying locally owned fu­neral homes for large amounts of money. What does this mean to you? A corporation's motiva­tion is profit - not service. The end result, higher prices - lower quality services.

A family owned funeral home's main goal is help­ing you through a very difficult time. Freeman­Abell Funeral Home still believes in service with in­tegrity and we put you and your family first.,

WATER PLAN _______ _

from page 1

According to consultant Herb Grubb of HDR Engineering in Austin, projections show the total water demand within Ihe water planning area to decrease from 3.25 million acre feet in 2000 to 2.9. million acre feet in 2030 and 2.79 million acre feet in 2050.

Municipal water demand, which includes residential and commencal use, is projected to be 92,579 acre feet of water by 2050.

Use of water for recovery of crude oil, sand/gravel washing, and other mining operatiOns is expected to reach a peak of 30,383 acre feet in 2000, foliowed by a decline to 11 ,824 acre leet in 2050. This expected reduction in water usage is attributed to reduced use 01 "Water lIood" technology lor secondary recovery 01 oil and gas.

Irrigation use in the region accounted lor3,657,740 acre feet of water in 1990, or 37 percent of the total irrigation water use In Texas. Projected irrigation water demands lor the region in 2050 , are 2,562,076 aCiIt or 30 percent less than in 1990. this is based upon increased irrigation application effICiency, reduced well yietds due to thinning of the saturated materialin the aquifer, economic factors, and reduced government programs affecting the profitability of irrigated agriculture.

Livestock water demand

control programs; desalinization of brackish ground water in the Santa Rosa aquifer of the Dockum formation as an altematlve water source; use treated municipal effuent for Irrigation use; promotion 01 agricultural and municipal water conservation; injecting air Into the formation to release capilary water in the dewatered section of the Ogallala Aquifer; construction of cistern wells to store small quantities 01 water for domestic and range use: construction of the Post Reservoir as a possible luture water supply : research Into drought-tolerant crop varieties; and capture. treatment and reuse of storm water runoff,

01 the 41 cities and towns wHhln the Llano Estacado Water Planning region that receive ground water from the Ogallala AquHer. 27 were projected to need additional water supplies during the 50-year planning period. Information specific to each of these towns including dates at which new wells w~1 be needed, distance to potential ground water supplies. capacity and approximate cost lor land, ' wells, equipment, and pipelines, was supplied to city officials by the planning group. .

. We can gin your cotton now! . projections for 2050 are 73,729 aclft, which is an increase Irom 34,493 aclft In 1990. Water use by feedlots, dairies · range cattle are,incJuded In these projections;
