  • Water bubbles and gushes from a "Boiling Spring" on Birdwood Creek near North Platte, Nebraska in the Sandhills.  Water is welling up from the aquifer in the Sandhills.  In the vertical exposure of sand some 50 to 60 feed high above the spring you can see both water born sediments (below) and wind born sand dunes (above.)  In the background is Hydrologist Jim Goeke.<br />
Interstingly, the springs vary in the output depending on atmospheric conditions, dying down with high pressure and going wild with low preasure.

  • Rev. Jim Miller of the United Methodist Church of Ord, Nebraska recreates the first circuit riding ministers church service on Anderson Island on the shores of the North Loup River.  Several of the church members were baptized in the river. The North Loup is one of the rivers fed by the aquifer in the Sandhills and thus flows at a constant rate year round and from year to year.

  • Ogallala Aquifer water underlying a wet meadow on the Haythorn Ranch in the Sandhills of Nebraska produces a lush crop of hay.   These meadows, where the Haythorns annually put up 1700 stacks of hay using their horses, are said to be "sub-irrigated" by the water table near the surface.  Springs form wherever any little dip reaches the water table. These draft horses are pulliing the hay up the inclined stacker to the top of the haystack.

  • Sandhill Cranes take off from a field along the Platte River, Nebraska.  Water levels in the Platte River depend on the High Plains Aquifer to maintain flow in the river.

  • Sandhill Cranes gather on the Platte River and in surrounding fields and set meadows during their annual migration north.   The habitat essential for the cranes survival is a mutual product of the Platte River and the High Plains Aquifer.  Some half a million cranes come to this 40 mile stretch of the Platte creating a magnificent spectacle.  The Platte is intimately tied to the High Plains Aquifer, feeding it in some places, drawing water from it in other places.  Additionally the aquifer creates the wet meadows that are essential to the cranes because they feed on invertibrates there.

  • Sandhill Cranes feed in one of the neighborhoods of Harmony, Florida.  The community uses street lighting with full cutoff fixtures so light remains low and environmentally friendly.  They advertise their dark skies as part of their appeal and even don't allow night tennis courts that would mar the night sky.
