San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority (WQA)

Snowmelt plays a crucial role in the San Gabriel Valley. Each year, the snow you see up on the mountaintops eventually melts and feeds into our groundwater, whi...ch is stored naturally in the earth below us. There’s more to snow than you know! Water: It’s our common ground and common cause. #WatersThatConnectUs See more

Groundwater can be thousands - yes, thousands - of years old, although it is typically extracted within years or decades after it has moved underground through aquifers. It is water from snowmelt or rain that has seeped into the soil. #FunFactFriday #SGVwatersmart #waternerd
