We grew up on the High Plains thinking of those occasionally muddy pasture depressions as "buffalo wallows," "rainwater basins" or "mud holes." Turns out, scientists are learning those playas play a significant role recharging aquifers such as the Ogallala.
This episode of Playa Country is part two of a five-part series on the Ogallala Aquifer Initiative. It first aired on High Plains Public Radio on October 8, 2013.
