OC GROUNDWATER BASIN (through end of December, 2022)
OCWD is one of the few groundwater management agencies able to track the groundwater basin’s “water budget” on a monthly basis. This information allows the District to make more informed management decisions about future water supplies and pumping.

Taking Pride in the Past, Preparing for the Future
Since its beginning in 1933, the Orange County Water District has grown far more extensively and rapidly than its founders could possibly have anticipated. Throughout the decades, the District has developed and introduced new technologies to manage water supplies, and is now a world leader in groundwater recharge.
GWRS Celebrates 15th Anniversary
The world-renowned Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) celebrates its “crystal anniversary” in January, marking 15 years of doing what was once “unthinkable”—purifying wastewater into high-quality drinking water. A joint project of the Orange County Water District and OC San, the GWRS made history when it came online in 2008, overcoming the stigma associated with these types of projects and bringing water reliability to Orange County.
