It is alway easy to blame farmers. however, people in the "burbs" put on way more fertilizer and chemicals on a per acre basis than farmers do.

Plus, when it rains, the water goes directly to concrete driveways and into concrete streets, then down the storm drain.

Many farm fields are using filter strips to allow runoff to soak in before reaching a stream.

I have planted around 3500 trees along my creek. A Riparian buffer. Planted the first in 1995, then more in 2000 and 2001. Some are near 30' tall now.

The well is located on a twenty acre property in anza. It is being used everyday as a family currently lives there. As far as I know there is no large livestock operations near by and no crops either. I was planning to raise goats and cattle and have been trying to find information on the effects of high nitrate water in livestock. Has anyone had to deal with high nitrate water ? If so what problems occurred? Is there anyway to treat the water at the well?

The nitrate level might not be from surface water contamination.

I've been to Anza when I was with the Riverside County Fire Department. Our engine was sent there to help with a wildfire in that area during the early 1980s. I didn't even know it existed before that. It's remote.
