The Pajaro Valley, located on the Pacific Coast of Central California, is known for berry farming, a very water intensive industry. The berry industry is now in jeopardy, as the valley’s aquifer is overdrawn, causing seawater intrusion which threatens to destroy freshwater resources. To combat this, Driscoll’s Berries, the company that distributes most of the berries in the valley, is actively seeking a way to reduce the aquifer draw by analyzing alternative farming techniques. This will be accomplished by creating a mathematical farm model and optimization strategy to design farming approaches that meet a sustainable water yield constraint. Furthermore, we consider surface water analysis as a means to supplement the aquifer for farming use. These results were produced at a focused, collaborative sustainability workshop at the American Institute of Mathematics.
