Our researchers discovered that in 1941 it was determined that certain wells on the Ogallala had water that contained minerals that were very beneficial for the people who drank it. Once discovered this superior water was soon being shipped all over the United States and even to foreign nations. That is an impressive feat for 1941. Then in December 1941 World War II broke out and brought fuel rationing with it. The thought of transporting the water from north Texas to far off cities was forgotten as more important concerns filled everyone’s minds and there was no fuel to transport a luxury.
After the war the people had new interest and the special water from the unique spot on the Ogallala was forgotten. Then in the 21st century new prospectors came looking for treasure. They were not looking for silver gold or even oil. They were looking for something more valuable, ultra-premium water. Imagine their surprise when they found it in the Great Plains instead of the Rockies or some desert island.
