San Miguel and surrounding communities face unprecedented water challenges. Our water comes from a large underground aquifer that is declining at an alarming rate. Wells are going dry, and the water that remains contains harmful minerals that cannot be removed by ordinary means.
Join us for a short film and expert panel discussion. Learn what you can do to assure safe, healthy drinking water for yourselves; and about the predicament of others in the region that we share the aquifer with.
