The Ogallala aquifer is being depleted primarily due to overpumping, which has caused water levels to drop. Option A is incorrect, as the movie "A Civil Action" is about a lawsuit relating to groundwater contamination in Massachusetts. Option C is also incorrect, as the Ogallala aquifer is actually an unconfined aquifer, meaning it is not fully replenished as quickly as water is used.
