In the Pajaro Valley we use more than twice as much water as is naturally available each year. This imbalance is about 6.5 billion gallons per year. This has caused saltwater from the Pacific Ocean to mix with groundwater, contaminating wells near the coast.

Irrigation run-off from landscapes carries motor oil, trash, pesticides and fertilizers down the street into storm drains and directly into our rivers, wetlands and ocean. Polluted irrigation run-off affects the health of our watersheds.
