Maria Herrera with the nonprofit Community Water Center in Visalia holds drinking water samples taken in Tulare County. The clear one is from East Orosi, the brownish one from Ducor. Although the clear water looks safer to drink, it contains nitrates, a contaminant largely from chemical fertilizer that can be hazardous to human health. The brown water is safer, although it contains "secondary" contaminants sulfur and manganese. Photo: Todd R. Brown
