The Gigafactory is less than 20 miles from a drinking water reservoir (and recreation area) in one direction, and the city of Reno in the other.

~30 miles to Lake Tahoe.

And according to https://www.reno.gov/home/showpublishedimage/4088/6351980817..., it's about two miles from the watershed that feeds it.

20 miles is a very long way away

Surely you must know what a watershed is.
