The large volume of water extracted from the Ogallala Aquifer is the bedrock of the region’s agriculture industry. This makes it alarming that over-extraction of water from the aquifer could eventually lead to diminished agricultural production, potentially inflating food prices across the globe. To head off this looming crisis, local governments are restricting water extraction from the aquifer that can be used for agriculture through regulations and compulsory monitoring of water consumption. Despite the plan’s benefits, the mandates regarding the aquifer pose serious economic threats that could doom local farmers’ businesses.

The Ogallala Aquifer is an underground layer of rock that is saturated with water and serves as a source of fresh water. The agriculture is dependent upon the water and the water has been pumped from the aquifer at high rates.
Excessive removal of water from the aquifer can lead to a reduction in agricultural exports which could also cause a rise in the prices of food in countries around the world.
Some states have enacted legislation to limit the amount of water, forcing farmers to install devices that measure water usage. However, many farmers concerned that their farms may be unable to continue into the future.
これで107語です。語数の指定は90語～110語なので、ぴったりですね。（2025年度より語数は目安でなく指定となっています。）
言い回しを変えます。
The Ogallala Aquifer is a water-filled bedrock that has been pumped at high rates to supply fresh water for agriculture. The local farms depend on it as the water source.
Over-extraction of water from the aquifer may result in a decline in agricultural exports, which may raise food prices globally.
Legislation limiting water use has been passed by some states, requiring farmers to install expensive water-use monitoring devices. Many of them, however, are worried that their farms might not be able to survive in the long run for the limited water supply and the cost of monitoring devices.
ちょっと横着して、Re-write言い換え・書き換えしてくれるサイトを使いました。
また、短くなってしまったので、調節して98語にしました。
どうでしょう。まず本文から該当文を抜き出すことが先決です。
それをつなげるだけで合格点はもらえると思います。
慣れていなければ、抜き出してつなげることに集中してください。
言い回しを変えることは、次のステップで良いです。
