The state of California has been facing a record drought for over four years now. California is home to many crop growers who are left wondering what to do. They can either face big fines for using too much water or they can let their crops go and hope that things get better soon. So far there has been no real solutions to the problem. It turns out there might be a solution, but it is not one that everyone agrees with.
Some California farmers have become so desperate that they have begun to water their crops with the waste water from oil companies. This means that the produce sold in many stores throughout the US is now being irrigated with potentially harmful carcinogens.
The waste water does go through a filter system before it is distributed
