If you’ve been paying attention to environmental news lately, you might’ve caught something pretty alarming: California farms have been using millions of pounds of PFAS-containing pesticides every single year.

When it comes to carrot production, Kern County stands unmatched. With over 167,700 acres of carrots, more than 75% of all carrot acreage in California, this region dominates the state’s carrot industry and plays a crucial role in supplying the nation with fresh, nutritious produce.

As water scarcity intensifies across the American West, one California city is proving that innovation, not desperation, will define the future of urban water management. Santa Monica’s Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP), a first-of-its-kind underground recycling facility, marks a turning point not just for the coastal community but for how cities worldwide can rethink water security.

California State Parks host some of the most ecologically diverse landscapes in the country, from coastal bluffs and mountain lakes to historic sites and deserts. With millions of visitors exploring these parks every year, the need for reliable, sustainable water treatment has never been more critical.

Avocados have evolved from a niche fruit to a global culinary staple. As demand continues to surge, understanding when and where avocados grow best, and how farmers sustainably manage water has become increasingly important.

California doesn’t just make great avocados and wine, it basically feeds the country. From almonds to strawberries, the Golden State’s farms thrive in places that barely see rain.

If you’ve ever driven through California’s Central Valley, you know orchards stretch as far as the eye can see. Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and citrus all thriving in a place where water is as precious as gold.

Water is life, but for millions of people in the U.S., clean, safe water still isn’t guaranteed. Aging pipes, outdated systems, and pollution have left too many communities behind.

California loves its greenery. From manicured lawns to tropical backyard escapes, the state’s landscapes are iconic, but they’re also thirsty.

California’s water infrastructure is mixed: world-class in big urban systems and major conveyance (State Water Project, major treatment plants), but uneven statewide, with hundreds of small systems failing or “at risk,” aging pipes, and large capital needs.

Yucca Valley, CA — The Hi-Desert Water District’s (HDWD) Phase 2 sewer expansion, a $103 million project, is more than just new pipes.

Water is the most underrated substance in our daily lives. We drink it, shower in it, cook with it, and barely think about where it comes from or how it stays safe to use.

When California heat waves hit, they’re no joke. Whether you’re grinding through the workday, exploring the outdoors, or just trying to make it from point A to point B, dehydration can sneak up fast.

Everfilt® isn't just a manufacturer, it’s a family-owned, U.S.-based operation rooted in 45+ years of industry leadership and innovation.

August is National Water Quality Month, and it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and recommit to protecting one of our planet’s most precious resources: clean water.

Natural disasters can disrupt water systems and leave communities without clean drinking water.

Water is a fundamental resource, yet its management varies significantly across regions. The United States and Europe approach water management differently, shaped by geography, governance, and environmental priorities.

When we think of California’s Central Valley, we often imagine endless rows of almond trees, sun-scorched soil, and baskets brimming with produce that nourishes the nation.

Agriculture is a cornerstone of the U.S. economy, providing food, employment, and economic stability.

Agriculture is on the verge of a transformative shift. With climate change intensifying and water scarcity becoming a significant concern.
