Groundwater 101: What It Is & Why It Matters Here at Home

Groundwater is the fresh water stored beneath the ground in soil and rock formations called aquifers. In Beaumont and Cherry Valley, much of our drinking water comes from the Beaumont Groundwater Basin, a vital underground resource that helps keep water flowing to our homes, schools, and businesses year-round.

Groundwater is especially important for our community because it helps us:

  • Provide a reliable local water supply
  • Reduce dependence on imported water
  • Stay resilient during drought and dry years
  • Support long-term affordability
  • Protect our water future for generations to come

By using groundwater wisely and supporting local recharge and conservation efforts, we help protect one of our region’s most valuable natural resources.
