Nitrate Control Program
CV-SALTS has developed the Central Valley’s Nitrate Control Program to address historical nitrate problems affecting groundwater, which is a main source of drinking water in rural and disadvantaged communities throughout the Kaweah Subbasin. The Nitrate Control Program’s three primary goals consist of:
- Provide safe drinking water, particularly for residents in affected areas
- Reduce nitrate impacts to water supplies
- Restore groundwater quality where feasible
