Rice farmers haved conserved 30 PERCENT of their water use during the las 30 years.
ONE-THIRD of the water used to grow rice heads back to the environment,
to aid the Delta ecosystem and fall-run Chinook salmon, as well as provide
drinking water for urban neighbors.
Rice fields may look flush with water, but a rice field utilizes
LESS WATER than what's soaked up by the average lawn.
In Fresno County there is enough drip tape installed to STRETCH FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON.
In Kern County there is enough drip tape installed to CIRCLE THE EARTH FIVE TIMES.
From 2003-2005, San Joaquin farmers alone, invested over
$1.5 BILLION DOLLARS
on water saving technology .
