I didn't like the ending. Sounded too much like Allen Savory in this talk;

A guy in the Dust Bowl story said the Ogallala aquifer averaged 100 feet deep but since the dust bowl we had used about 50 feet of that. He also said that at the rate of use there was 20 years left before it was dry. When was the film made? He also said when the aquifer is gone there wouldn't even be any drinking water.

Love to have an update on the aquifer. Is the government controlling grazing on public land so it's not over grazed? Are other things being done? Love to hear what the solution is.
