A new potential solution to the severe drought in California involves collecting and purifying water from the production of ketchup and tomato paste.
State officials say more than 1,200 wells have run dry this year, a nearly 50% increase over the same period last year. California's water crisis is most severe in the San Joaquin Valley, the country's most productive agricultural region. This year's snowmelt and rain have not been enough to replenish already-depleted groundwater supplies.
Ingomar turns tons of San Joaquin Valley-grown tomatoes into ketchup and tomato paste. The natural by-product of that process is water, which, until now, just went down the drain."We evaporate a lot of the tomato to create ketchup. And that evaporative condensate is what we catch. Then we run that through our purification process." Paule said.
BWT has also created a Water Exchange, where corporations that want to give back to their communities or use a lot of water can purchase the clean water and gift it to areas in need.
