Environmental issues in the San Joaquin Valley

The San Joaquin Valley of California has seen environmental issues arise from agricultural production, industrial processing, and the region's use as a transportation corridor, experiencing some of the nation’s worst air quality, high rates of childhood asthma, and contaminated drinking water. Geographically, the San Joaquin Valley stretches from the Tehachapi Mountains in the south, between the California coastal ranges and the Sierra Nevada range, and opening into Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta in the north.
