The water will continue to decrease.
Reason: the graph shows a steady long-term decline in Ogallala water levels, indicating withdrawals exceed recharge. If current usage and climate trends continue, levels are likely to keep falling over the next decade (short-term depletion to zero is unlikely without extreme changes, though significant losses are expected).
