National Geographic on Instagram: "Photo by @randyolson In Lazbuddie Texas the school superintendent also drives the school bus, and she is trying to figure out how to keep the school and community alive as they run out of water. At one point, she only had 90 days of water left for 16 families (teachers are housed at school complex). The well got down to 15 feet of standing water. Lazbuddie as well as towns all the way north to South Dakota depend on the Ogallala aquifer. There are 88,000 wells around her in the TX panhandle and the area has the least water from the aquifer underneath, the least regulation, the least recharge and the highest density of wells. From this monthβs @natgeo story. @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #schools #education #transportation #schoolbus"
