sorry i didn't mean the clip, the documentary in general

It's a guy who grew up during the dust bowl talking about how we ended up resolving the crisis by tapping the aquifers, and how in the long run that may have been a bad thing because we never REALLY made any kind of harmony with the environment that we caused a crisis in - we just doubled down on extracting as many resources as possible from it. And then he goes on to talk about how the aquifers we thought would provide for us forever are now starting to run dry, and he'll have to explain to his great grand-children that we used all the water growing corn to feed the pigs.

They never expected the aquifers to last forever, they planned extraction rates around an 80 year expected draw down. Reading Cadillac Desert is highly recommended, its a very good telling of the story of settling the American west through the lens of water development and extraction. Its incredibly depressing because they knew this would never last and did it anyways, it wasn't planned this way from ignorance but from a lack of care for the future. Also doesn't help that when they were surveying river flows and total precipitate for portioning out the flow of the Colorado to the different states it was during a 10 year high precip window that hasn't been seen since.

A terrible Fell look!
I was taught in school that we fixed the dust bowl by changing farming techniques. Am I to understand that we just started irrigation using the aquifers?

It's both, the guys who settled the midwest genuinely had zero idea what they were doing and immediately ruined their own land. Despite being having seen their land get up and fly away directly into their children's lungs, a lot of dust bowl farmers were extremely resistant to New Deal agronomists trying to teach them how to not ruin the soil.
