DESCRIPTION:The Pajaro Valley\, located on the Pacific Coast of Central Cal
 ifornia\, is known for berry farming\, a very water intensive industry. Th
 e berry industry is now in jeopardy\, as the valley’s aquifer is overdra
 wn\, causing seawater intrusion which threatens to destroy freshwater reso
 urces. To combat this\, Driscoll’s Berries\, the company that distribute
 s 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 strat
 egy to design farming approaches that meet a sustainable water yield const
 raint. Furthermore\, we consider surface water analysis as a means to supp
 lement the aquifer for farming use. These results were produced at a focus
 ed\, collaborative sustainability workshop at the American Institute of Ma
 thematics.
