Sacramento water quality: then

In California’s Central Valley, water management and protection have always been a top priority. Early inhabitants relied on the many natural resources, living, traveling, and hunting along the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers of the Stockton Delta.

The discovery of gold in 1848 at the nearby Sutter’s Fort quickly changed the region, bringing an influx of gold seekers looking to strike it rich. Brackish water in the Delta became a serious issue after the development of agriculture in the upper Sacramento and San Joaquin Valley. Then droughts between 1910 and 1940 increased salinity because of the reduction of freshwater inflows.

The growing issue of Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto water quality led to the construction of dams on Central Valley rivers to boost dry-season freshwater. This eventually became the Central Valley Project, California’s first major water system, mostly built between the 1930s and the 1960s.

The project provided irrigation and municipal water to Sacramento, Stockton, and Modesto by storing water in reservoirs in the north and transporting it south by way of canals, aqueducts, and plants.

Worried about contaminants in your drinking water? We offer a full complement of water filtration and sanitization technologies to remove sediment, reduce chemical contaminants, including lead, and get rid of off-tastes and odors. Depending on your local water quality, your Water Expert may recommend our NSF-certified carbon filtration, which works great for water with TDS (total dissolved solids) levels under 250 ppm (parts per million) or our NSF-certified reverse osmosis (RO) filtration, which is the standard for water with TDS levels over 250ppm.
