The Great Plains refers to a roughly 502,000 square mile area the lies west of the Mississippi River and east of the Rocky Mountains. It includes the states of Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming.
The Great Plains states that overlap with the Midwest rely heavily on groundwater, while the western and southwestern states rely more on surface water.
