The photographs in this social documentary project aim to raise awareness of the increasing water damage affecting farmland, aqueducts, and reservoirs within our community, as well as the growing flood risks along local rivers. Water-related damage accounts for approximately 10 percent of crop loss in California, resulting in an estimated $1.7 billion economic impact on the state’s agricultural industry. All images were captured in Tracy’s farmlands and along the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers, documenting both the environmental and economic implications of these conditions.
