Water sources for Kansas aren&#x27;t surface waters but ground waters. Problem is that the recharge rate is far outstripped by current crops we&#x27;re growing. Western Kansas will slowly turn into a desert due to this reality. The same goes for most of Oklahoma and Nebraska. These are the states which grow the wheat and corn that goes into your food stuffs. You think bread is expensive now wait until a gallon of fresh water costs more than a gallon of gas. Then you&#x27;ll feel the pinch of Malthus&#x27; Curse.
