So we agreed that people might get their water from underground when they don't live near freshwater bodies of water. Mrs. Brinza contacted two teachers she met this summer, and one responded. Here's their communication via Twitter:
It seems like she doesn't live in Kansas, but rather in Oklahoma. She lives on a farm and does use groundwater or "well water" as she states. It seems to run out, which is odd, too.
We wanted to dig some holes in the ground, but it's kinda hard to here. But this guy on YouTube did some digging, and he found water underneath an old, dried-up riverbed. The digging process was kinda long, but he eventually got some water even though it was "muddy, but drinkable," he said.

We then wanted to honor some ideas that came forth from the video--like is there water underground everywhere? Our YouTube digging friend found water under an old river, so this got us wondering about if water was in other places in the ground that were not under former bodies of water. We turned to USGS underground maps!
There seems to be a lot of water underground, which is springing up a whole bunch of new wonderings. Remmber, we're trying to answer our DQ for the unit, which is about where our clean water comes from, too! Hopefully we're working towards this goal even though new questions are arising!
