The long game and urgency of the Ogallala Aquifer playing out now for Dr. Susan Metzger

Water is at the center of everything and in agriculture, particularly regions that depend on sources other than the sky, there is a long game and urgency at play in nearly every decision. Dr. Susan Metzger holds several titles at Kansas State including being the director of Strategic Interdisciplinary Program Development, Kansas Center for Agricultural Resources and the Environment and the Kansas Water Institute along with the Institute for Digital Agriculture and Advanced Analytics (ID3A) - Engagement. She’s in the middle of regional and statewide efforts to balance agriculture and its intersection with the environment with nutrient runoff and even carbon sequestration. The focus here is mostly on the Ogallala’s future.
