Brant Peterson uses his iPhone to check his irrigation pivots in his farm on June 10, 2015 in Stanton County, Kan. Peterson says he's noticed that the Ogallala aquifer, from which he draws to irrigate his crops, has declined rapidly in recent years as Kansas experienced a drought. His farm got just seven inches of rain a year for six years. During that time, the water level in his wells dropped by more than half. "To me, I'm as efficient as I can be with my water," he said. "The only thing I can do to conserve is to cut back acres." (Travis Heying/Wichita Eagle/TNS)
