In California, agriculture is a 47.1 billion dollar industry, making up 2% of the state’s economy. At the heart of this industry lies The Central Valley of California, a vital agricultural hub for the state and country. Consisting of both the San Joaquin Valley and Sacramento Valley, the Central Valley has an estimated two thirds of the state’s cropland with 7 million acres. California is also the leading dairy producer in the country, with 1.8 million mature cow in the Central Valley contributing to 80% of California’s dairies. By being a crucial region for large agricultural output in a state that often suffers from drought, water quantity and quality have been a leading concern for the Central Valley.Contaminated groundwater in the Central Valley of California is a growing problem in ma

In California, agriculture is a 47.1 billion dollar industry, making up 2% of the state’s economy. At the heart of this industry lies The Central Valley of California, a vital agricultural hub for the state and country. Consisting of both the San Joaquin Valley and Sacramento Valley, the Central Valley has an estimated two thirds of the state’s cropland with 7 million acres. California is also the leading dairy producer in the country, with 1.8 million mature cow in the Central Valley contributing to 80% of California’s dairies. By being a crucial region for large agricultural output in a state that often suffers from drought, water quantity and quality have been a leading concern for the Central Valley.Contaminated groundwater in the Central Valley of California is a growing problem in many of the agriculture-based communities based in the area. Groundwater in the Central Valley is now a resource that is being threatened due to contamination overuse and is a public health concern for the industries and communities that depend on this as their leading water source. Combined with the overdraft of the underground aquifers, groundwater contamination is becoming increasingly worrisome as the amount of clean groundwater dwindles down. Near-term solutions to this growing problem are often costly and hard to implement in a timely manner while also clearing the water as safe to use. Currently nitrates are the most abundant of these pollutants in the Central Valley due to the copious amounts of agricultural runoff that comes from the numerous farms in the valley. Concentration of naturally occurring arsenic is also an issue.
