Agriculture is clearly critical to our lives and economy. But the San Joaquin Valley shows the detrimental effects it can have. Here, farms pump a lot of groundwater and can pollute with fertilizers and pesticides. This often leaves people with dry wells or dirty water.
I’m enjoying seeing different water #infrastructure in California than I see back east. The Friant-Kern Canal is 152 miles long and provides #water for one million acres of crop land and 250,000 people in the San Joaquin Valley.

Always happy to have a #PureWaterBrew, a #beer made with recycled #water.

Cheers to @ATartakovsky & @EpicCleantec for the tasty, sustainable beer!
There is much work to be done to educate people about sources and risks of #PFAS in their lives.
When are regulators going after cosmetics and the other household products and consumer goods that are responsible for vast majority of our exposure?

Analysis has shown a significant lack of diversity in the sources cited in media coverage. So the Color of Water was created. It’s a directory that journalists can use to connect with a diverse set of #water experts, explains @JoseLAranda1 of @water_hub. https://t.co/1wdMQPLkwI
When @CFPUA found high levels of #PFAS in the #water, it couldn't wait for government regulators to provide direction.
The utility evaluated treatment options and built a $43 million granular activated carbon system, says @kennyraywald.
