Water quantity and quality are important for drinking water, thus it is important to understand hydrology in an agricultural environmnet to prevent contamination of surface and groundwater. This presentation describes an outreach and education program launched with farm workers (in English and Spanish) to teach best management practices to keep pesticides out of water. This outreach campaign trains every year more than one thousand Pestice Control Advisors and Applicators (PCAAs) as well as regular farmworkers how to imterpret the landscape, and what action make to keep pesticide and any contaminant out of water.
