Water Quality

New Materials Hub Created for Drinking Water Supply Well Monitoring

We recently added a new “Drinking Water Well” button to our CalRiceNews.org website. This creates a centralized location for forms and informational materials, eliminating the need for the AgCEU online course.

By clicking on the button, you will find the survey monkey asking for the number of drinking water supply wells by county. Additional links include a form for the lab, list of approved labs, notification templates (for exceedances) in four languages and materials for informational purposes. 

For questions or more information, please contact CRC Industry Affairs Manager Roberta Firoved at rfiroved@calrice.org or (916) 206-5039.
