The Journey Of Water: From Farm To Table

Around 70% of the world's freshwater is dedicated to agriculture. From growing plants to raising animals, water plays a central role in bringing food to our tables. Here’s how clean, filtered water supports each stage in food production, from farms to homes across the Coachella Valley and Imperial County.

Next time you sit down for a meal, remember the journey water has taken—from farms to your home. It’s the lifeblood of our diets, nourishing every step of the way. Clean water benefits our health and enhances the flavors of foods we love.

1. Agriculture and FarmingClean water is critical at every step of farming, from traditional irrigation to advanced systems like hydroponics and aquaponics. Animal farms also rely on filtered water to keep livestock healthy. Water filtration is essential here to avoid harmful contaminants, support plant health and prevent disease in livestock. Farms across the Coachella Valley and Imperial County rely on high-quality water for produce and animal products.

2. Post-Harvest HandlingAfter crops are harvested, water is used to wash away soil, pesticides, and debris. Water filtration at this stage prevents contaminants from being passed along to consumers, ensuring food safety.

3. Transportation and StorageFresh produce is often misted in storage and during transportation to maintain freshness. Filtration keeps the misting water free from bacteria and mold, ensuring products stay safe until they reach stores.

4. Retail StageIn grocery stores, produce is misted to keep it hydrated. Unfiltered misting water could carry contaminants, affecting produce freshness and safety.

5. Food Processing and PreparationWater is vital in washing, cooking, and mixing food during processing. High-quality filtration, such as reverse osmosis systems, is essential in food processing to ensure that water is free of impurities, maintaining food safety and quality.
