The Ogallala Aquifer, a crucial water source for the High Plains region, is under increasing threat. Water reclamation systems can are one way to combat water scarcity. The Ogallala Aquifer, which stretches across eight states and supports millions of acres of agriculture, has seen alarming declines in water levels. In some areas, the aquifer has dropped by over 150 feet, and experts predict that without significant changes in water management practices, it could be depleted within a generation. This poses a severe risk to the entire High Plains economy, including the many feedyards and dairies that rely on this vital water source.  

Feedyards and dairies require large amounts of water for livestock consumption, sanitation, and other operational needs. With the Ogallala Aquifer facing depletion, these agricultural operations urgently need innovative solutions to conserve this precious resource and ensure its long-term viability. Water reclamation systems present a practical and effective answer to this pressing issue.  

What is a Water Reclamation System?

A water reclamation system collects and treats wastewater, reducing the need to draw freshwater from the aquifer. This process involves collecting wastewater from various sources, such as water tank overflow, treating it to remove contaminants, and reusing it for purposes like irrigation, livestock watering, or cleaning.  

MJE’s systems are specifically designed to capture and treat water tank overflow, ensuring this valuable resource is reused rather than wasted. Our advanced systems utilize cutting-edge technologies like filtration, UV disinfection, and automated controls to provide a reliable and efficient water reclamation solution tailored to the needs of feedyards and dairies.  

Why Water Reclamation Matters

• Environmental Responsibility: Water reclamation systems play a vital role in preserving the Ogallala Aquifer, ensuring its viability for future generations. This commitment to environmental stewardship is a key benefit of these systems.  
• Economic Benefits: By reusing tank overflow, water reclamation systems can significantly reduce direct water costs, maintenance on your wells, and energy costs to run your wells during peak usage times, directly improving your bottom line.
• Increased Efficiency: Cleaner water can lead to better animal health, improved feed consumption, and greater efficiency in producing milk and meat.  
• Regulatory Compliance: Avoid fines and penalties associated with over-pumping water allotments.
