Water Quality Testing
WebIf you are a private well owner, receive water from a unregulated water supply, or are concerned about the water coming from your tap; then the costs of water quality testing will be your responsibility. Basic sampling can cost from $35 to $400. Hiring an outside business to sample your well and interpret the results will likely cost more.

EcoSystem Health
WebTo determine the health of a waterway, investigators can use a combination of chemical, biological, and physical assessments. Among the characteristics that may be considered are habitat quality, aquatic life diversity, water chemistry, stream hydrology (water flow processes), the physical channel form, and sediment transport processes of the stream.
My Water Quality: Aquatic Ecosystem Health
WebDetermining stream health requires evaluation of a wide variety of factors. Water flow, pollution levels, aquatic species health, and even temperature all contribute to the condition of a stream. Distinct biological, chemical and physical attributes must be assessed and then combined to get a full picture of ecosystem health. Each of these
My Water Quality: Wetlands
WebTidal wetlands (estuarine, marine) serve to stabilize shorelines by binding the soils along the shoreline together with strong systems of plant roots. They also provide storm protection by creating a natural barrier to the elements and shielding coastal communities. Wetland vegetation works as a sediment trap and locks up nutrients and
Bottled and Hauled Water
WebIn California, bottled water is regulated by the California Department of Public Health-Food and Drug Branch, because bottled water is considered a packaged food product.

Safe to Drink Portal
WebDrinking water standards are set based on potential health impacts and also take into account the cost to meet the drinking water standard. Also, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines drinking water as safe when humans can drink it with low risk of immediate or long-term harm to your health. Although there may be health risks

WebAnother recent summary of wetland extent in California reported a total of 2.9 million acres. The State of the State’s Wetlands (SOSW) report used a single dataset summary approach to calculating total extent solely based on the NWI dataset. Although the NWI is comprehensive for areas it has mapped, there are still large gaps in its coverage.
My Water Quality: Aquatic Ecosystem Health
WebThe quality of the water in a stream affects the health of fish and other organisms that live there as well as our ability to use the water for swimming, drinking, and other purposes. Many of our streams have high levels of pesticides, bacteria, and other contaminants. These contaminants are discharged or wash into streams from land uses such

Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs)
WebInformation for physicians: Harmful algal blooms occur when several types of bacteria (known as cyanobacteria) grow in fresh, or brackish waters. Under certain conditions and with sufficient nutrients, some of these bacteria can rapidly reproduce and grow into large, visible blooms that may produce harmful toxins.
