The Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge was an artificial wetland environment, created using agricultural runoff from farmland in California's Central Valley. The irrigation water is transported to the valley from sources in the Sierra Nevada via the California Aqueduct.

Address: Gustine, CA 95322

One of a dwindling number of freshwater marshes in California's San Joaquin Valley, Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge achieved national notoriety in 1983 whenrefuge managers discovered that agricultural runoff was poisoning the area's birds.

At Kesterson, scientists concluded that selenium toxicity passed up through the food chain caused 88 percent of bird deaths and deformities.
