A  yearlong  hydrological  investigation, by  the  Santa  Cruz  Mid-County  Groundwater  Agency,   assessed  the  condition  of  underground  water  resources  in  the  Mid-County area.    The purpose was  to  figure  out  how  close  the  Saltwater  Intrusion  is  to  the  onshore  aquifers.  They determined  that  Saltwater  Intrusion is an imminent threat in the Capitola area.  Along the coastline of the Northern portion of the bay, the Near Surface Aquifer still contained fresh groundwater, however, the Deeper Aquifer contains brack-ish water.
