If you want to learn out about the state of America's water resources, you should read this book
As Reisner notes, the first two-thirds of the 20th Century saw the proliferation of dams and draining of aquifers at a rapid clip so that subsidized crops could be grown at a massive scale with cheap water, privatizing the gains and socializing the costs quite severely
