OC GROUNDWATER BASIN (through end of August, 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 Successfully Captures Rainfall from Tropical Storm Hilary to Bolster Local Drinking Water Supplies
With the arrival of Tropical Storm Hilary, OCWD maximized water supply operations to capture 2.56 inches of rain, ensuring not a drop was lost to the ocean, and increase its water storage behind Prado Dam to more than 3.4 billion gallons of water.
