Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency

PV Water supports all growers in improving their irrigation efficiency to use water wisely. A common first step from our agricultural irrigation experts is to evaluate how water is being distributed evenly when a field is irrigated. This allows crops to get the same amount of water versus having portions of the fields be underwater.

#WaterWednesday #Didyouknow Approximately 850 agricultural wells and 1,200 small domestic wells tap into the Pajaro Valley's aquifers to provide water for growing fruits, vegetables, flowers and domestic consumption. The Pajaro Valley depends on groundwater.
