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.

As we approach the season of gratitude, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all of our valued employees and customers.

Clean water is a basic expectation in the United States, yet millions of Americans still live in areas with unsafe or unreliable drinking water. High-profile crises like Flint’s lead disaster grabbed national attention, but many other cities continue to struggle with contamination that stems from aging infrastructure, poor regulation, political conflict, or environmental injustice.

Access to clean, safe drinking water is a fundamental human right, yet many Native American communities continue to face severe water challenges due to aging infrastructure, contamination, remote locations, and long-standing underfunding.

Across the country, water systems are aging, demands are rising, and the challenges tied to climate change aren’t slowing down. But one issue is quietly shaping the future of every treatment plant, utility, and public works department: a rapidly shrinking water workforce.

Peru’s coastal desert sees a seasonal low cloud called garúa, cold, persistent fog pushed inland by ocean currents. Where that fog hits hillsides, moisture is available even where rain is virtually absent. Fog catchers are simply vertical meshes hung on frames where the fog flows; tiny droplets collide with the filaments, coalesce into larger drops, run down gutters, and are stored in tanks for later use. These systems are passive, low-energy, and relatively cheap to install.

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.

Ensuring clean, reliable water is essential for both industrial processing and agricultural productivity. Whether you are running a manufacturing facility, greenhouse, livestock operation, or irrigation system, water quality directly affects equipment lifespan, crop yield, and overall operational efficiency.

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.

If you’re running a cattle operation in 2025, you already know the vibe: margins are tighter, weather is wilder, regulations keep shifting, and you’re basically juggling the roles of rancher, environmental steward, and part-time mechanic.

If you grew up hearing that “farmers feed the world,” here’s the 2025 update: farmers can only feed the world if their water is clean enough to keep the whole system running.

In the fragrance world, water isn’t just a filler, it’s the body. Whether you're crafting fine perfumes, body sprays, or scented skincare, the quality of your water can make or break the final product.

If you’ve been in irrigation long enough, you’ve heard the classic line: “My water source is clean. I don’t need filtration.” And every time someone says it, an emitter somewhere silently screams.

When you think of amusement parks, you probably picture roller coasters, funnel cake, and maybe that one friend who insists on riding the drop tower twice. But behind every lazy river and wave pool is something way less glamorous but absolutely essential: seriously advanced water treatment systems.

If you're running a data center, you already know the game: nonstop uptime, maximum efficiency, minimal waste. You optimize your servers, airflow, PUE, virtualization layers, everything. But there’s one piece of infrastructure most operators don’t give nearly enough love: Your cooling tower water,

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.

In the water treatment industry, selecting the right filtration media is essential for achieving reliable, long-term contaminant reduction. Two terms you’ll frequently see from filtration-media manufacturers are Catalytic Carbon and Empty Bed Contact Time (EBCT).

High-demand irrigation systems rely on dependable filtration to protect pumps, pipelines, emitters, and fertigation equipment. The SM-Series3 Epoxy Removable Underdrain Sand Media Filter is engineered specifically for long-term field performance, offering a rugged design, serviceable construction, and the corrosion resistance required for harsh agricultural environments.

As urban farming becomes more popular, homeowners and community growers are planting fruit trees and cultivating crops right in residential neighborhoods.

A sand media filter is one of the most dependable and widely used filtration systems for irrigation, industrial water treatment, aquaculture, and pool maintenance. But even the best-designed filter can only perform as well as the media inside it.
