precision irrigation

2016-08-25 01:50:55 Grape vinyeards are watered by drip irrigation near Porterville California, August 24, 2016. Agricultural fertilizers as well as cow manure from dairy farms have led to domestic wells in California's Central Valley having dangerously high levels of nitrates making it unsafe to drink. In California s top farming regions, up to 250,000 consumers are highly susceptible to encountering nitrate contamination in their drinking water, according a report released earlier this month by the Agricultural Sustainability Institute at the University of California at Davis.
