OC GROUNDWATER BASIN (through end of April, 2023)
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.

OCWD Honored for Innovative Water Resiliency Efforts
The Association of California Water Agencies awarded the District with its annual Excellence in Innovation Award, which recognizes outstanding innovations from public water agencies. OCWD was selected for recycling 100% of OC San’s reclaimable wastewater flows into high-quality drinking water.
