Full Description

The Orange County Water and Sanitation Districts have developed the Groundwater Replenishment System (GWR), a project that would be implemented in three phases, beginning in the year 2003, and will ultimately produce 100,000 acre-feet per year (afy) of high quality water by the year 2020. This water will represent 20% of the fresh water supply used to recharge the Orange County groundwater basin, which provides up to 75% of the potable water for nearly two million county residents. The following paper provides a brief description of the treatment objectives and the benefits of the GWR system. Includes 7 references, tables.
