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. Learn more at https://t.co/Lz6EBKOsP9

“We should judge water by its quality, not its history.” That’s the point of beer made with recycled water and a #PureWaterBrew tagline (shout out @JockersM) Great article on the beer made by @ATartakovsky and @EpicCleantec. Glad I could add a few words. https://t.co/codlzzV8Jq

Always happy to have a #PureWaterBrew, a #beer made with recycled #water. This Kolsch is made with purified water from San Francisco's first approved greywater reuse system, found in an apartment building. 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? Or is industry too powerful?
Research is vital to assessing the risk of #PFAS in biosolids applied to agricultural land, says @PGrevatt1Water of @WaterResearch. For example, recent science shows that cosmetics put on people's skin have 50 times more PFAS than #biosolids. #podcast ▶️ https://t.co/MNPSZR3dVG

It may cost around $50 billion to remove all the nation's lead service lines. States should clarify that utilities can use public funds for work on private property, which allows them to tap into bonds, says Tom Neltner of @EnvDefenseFund. #podcast ▶️ https://t.co/DYPIIQZgAN

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.

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. #podcast ▶️ https://t.co/rLLlzyo5g7
