| Abstract | The Great Plains region faces an ever-increasing need to conserve dwindling water reserves from the Ogallala aquifer. The same region also annually generates more than 80% of the country’s total livestock wastes (dairy, beef, swine), raising concerns about the impact on water quality and living conditions.
