Seawater intrusion is one of the key challenges facing groundwater in the Pajaro Valley. It occurs when salt water moves into freshwater aquifers, often as a result of groundwater overdraft and other factors.

PV Water tracks the extent of seawater intrusion across the Pajaro Valley and is working to address it through groundwater management actions and water supply projects.

How does PV Water work toward sustainable groundwater management in the Pajaro Valley? It takes more than one approach.

💬 Community input helps inform decisions about the basin and the people who depend on it.
📊 Groundwater levels and water quality are monitored to track conditions and guide updates to the Basin Management Plan.
💦 Water supply projects, including the Recycled Water Facility and College Lake Project, help diversify and strengthen the region’s water supplies.

Together, these efforts support long-term groundwater management in the Pajaro Valley. Learn more: https://www.pvwater.org/sgm

What could the future of agriculture look like in the Pajaro Valley? 🌱

PV Water recently released a draft plan for how future grant funds from the Department of Conservation’s Multibenefit Land Repurposing Program (MLRP) could be used in the region. The goal is to support projects that meet local needs while helping address seawater intrusion and its impacts on the Pajaro Valley’s agricultural lands. The planning process brings together landowners, communities and others interested in shaping the region’s future.

PV Water is hosting two public comment workshops to present the plan, answer questions and hear from the community:

🗓️ Virtual Workshop from 12-1 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 14
🗓️ In-Person Workshop from 4-6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 20
