Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``High Plains Groundwater Resource 
Conservation Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) a reliable source of groundwater is an essential 
        element of the economy of the communities on the High Plains;
            (2) the High Plains Aquifer consists largely of the 
        Ogallala Aquifer with small components of other geologic units;
            (3) the High Plains Aquifer experienced a dramatic decline 
        in water table levels in the latter half of the 20th century;
            (4) the decline in water table levels is especially 
        pronounced in the Southern Ogallala Aquifer, with areas in the 
        States of Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas experiencing 
        declines of over 100 feet from 1950 to 2007;
            (5)(A) the saturated thickness of the High Plains Aquifer 
        has declined by over 50 percent in some areas; and
            (B) the percentage of the High Plains Aquifer that has a 
        saturated thickness of 100 feet or more declined from 54 
        percent to 51 percent in the period from 1980 to 2007;
            (6) the decreased water levels in the High Plains Aquifer 
        coupled with higher pumping lift costs raise concerns about the 
        long-term sustainability of irrigated agriculture in the High 
        Plains;
            (7) hydrological modeling by the United States Geological 
        Survey indicates that in the context of sustained high 
        groundwater use in the surrounding region, reductions in 
        groundwater pumping at the single farm level or at a local 
        level of up to 100 square miles, have a very time-limited 
        impact on conserving the level of the local water table, thus 
        creating a disincentive for individual water users to invest in 
        water conservation measures;
            (8) incentives must be created for conservation of 
        groundwater on a regional scale, in order to achieve an 
        agricultural economy on the High Plains that is sustainable; 
        and
            (9) for water conservation incentives to function, Federal, 
        State, tribal, and local water policymakers, and individual 
        groundwater users must have access to reliable information 
        concerning aquifer recharge rates extraction rates, and water 
        table levels at the local and regional levels on an ongoing 
        basis.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to promote groundwater 
conservation on the High Plains in order to extend the useable life of 
the High Plains Aquifer.

A:
High Plains Groundwater Resource Conservation Act - Amends the Food Security Act of 1985 to direct the Secretary of Agriculture, for each of FY2011-FY2020, to enter into contracts with producers in the High Plains Aquifer states (Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming) through a High Plains Aquifer Groundwater Conservation Incentives Program, aimed at achieving significant per-acre savings of groundwater resources of the High Plains Aquifer.

Directs the Secretary to ensure that producers on land drawing water from that Aquifer throughout the High Plains region have an opportunity to participate in the Program. Requires producers in areas experiencing significant aquifer level declines to be given priority.

Provides for incentive payments for a producer on land drawing water from the Aquifer who agrees not to irrigate all or part of the land and to transfer the producer's water rights for the nonirrigated land to the applicable High Plains Aquifer state.
