Denver Basin Aquifer

The Denver Basin Aquifer is a large underground water source located beneath parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas. It consists of layers of porous rocks that store groundwater, which can be extracted for agriculture, industry, and drinking water. The aquifer was formed over millions of years from sediment deposits. While it provides vital water resources for the region, its water levels can decline with overuse, making sustainable management important to ensure long-term availability. It plays a crucial role in supporting the area's needs, especially during dry periods.
