  • South Coast AQMD Continues Advisory Due to Smoke from California Wildfires
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 25, 2021 MEDIA CONTACTS: Bradley Whitaker, (909) 396-3456, Cell: (909) 323-9516 Nahal Mogharabi, (909) 396-3773, Cell: (909) 837-2431 [email protected] South Coast AQMD Continues Advisory Due to Smoke from California Wildfires Valid: Wednesday, August 25 through Friday, August 27, 2021 This advisory is in effect through Friday morning. South Coast AQMD will issue an update if additional information becomes available. Wildfires in northern and central California are producing heavy smoke that is being transported into the South Coast Air Basin and the Coachella Valley. While the heaviest smoke will be present in the upper atmosphere across the region, the greatest impacts on surface air quality are expected in mountain areas, the Inland Empire, and the Coachella Valley. Smoke impacts are expected to continue until Thursday evening. Smoke levels are expected to continue decreasing throughout Wednesday afternoon and during the day on Thursday. During this period, the PM2.5 concentration may be moderately elevated and reach Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups Air Quality Index (AQI) levels in mountain areas, the Inland Empire, and the Coachella Valley. Ozone, the predominant summertime pollutant, may reach Unhealthy AQI levels near Crestline, Fontana, Redlands, San Bernardino, and Upland. To help keep indoor air clean during periods of poor air quality, close all windows and doors and run your air conditioner and/or an air purifier. If possible, do not use whole house fans or swamp coolers that bring in outside air. Avoid burning wood in your fireplace or firepit and minimize sources of indoor air pollution such as candles, incense, pan-frying, and grilling.

  • CVWD-DWA the State of the Coachella Valley Aquifer (PDF)
    the state of the Coachella Valley Aquifer The Coachella Valley Water District and Desert Water Agency are committed to carefully managing the region’s aquifer. This collaboration will ensure this precious resource is available for generations to come. early 100 percent of the water that is used in the Coachella Valley comes from an underground aquifer – or groundwater basin. This water is Nlocated beneath the surface, where it is stored and eventually pumped for use by nine cities, 400,000 people, numerous businesses and thousands of acres of farmland. Due to the dry climate in the Coachella Valley, the groundwater basin must be very carefully managed. The very little precipitation that is seen in the desert and nearby mountains helps to replenish the aquifer but must be augmented by importing additional supplies. Currently, groundwater levels are declining but together, the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) and Desert Water Agency (DWA) have been working hard to replenish the aquifer and protect this important resource. Since 1973, the agencies have replenished the aquifer with more than 3.1 million acre-feet (1 trillion gallons) of imported water. Together, the agencies have made great strides when it comes to recycling wastewater and encouraging and implementing conservation programs – efforts that reduce the region’s reliance on the aquifer. Imported water, conservation programs and local efforts are important tools that CVWD and DWA employ to ensure that the aquifer will continue to provide Coachella Valley residents, businesses
