Running Out: In Search of Water on the High Plains by Lucas Bessire

I honestly thought this book would be on the dry side. However, Bessire really connects the draining of the Ogallala Aquifer to society - even outside of agriculture today. Yes, agriculture a major focus along with the shift from family to corporate farming. Politics is of course a topic of major discussion with this book. Immigration and women's rights were also brought up in this book. It was actually a very interesting read on a problem more of us need to become aware.

How did this book find me?? It was a 2022 Kansas Notable Book. It is also a finalist for the 2021 National Book Award.
