Capturing water and using it efficiently in urban environments is a critical piece to an integrated water management system. On the heels of a season of record-breaking precipitation, after years of sustained drought, the need to make the most of stormwater when we have it is even more front of mind.
In this webinar event, we’ll learn about how Water Replenishment District manages and protects local groundwater resources for four million residents, how atmospheric rivers affected the agency this year, how stormwater is captured and managed, and what projects the agency has on the horizon.
About Water Replenishment District:
The Water Replenishment District (WRD) is the largest groundwater agency by population in the state of California, managing and protecting local groundwater resources for four million residents. WRD's service area covers a 420-square-mile region of southern Los Angeles County, the most populated county in the United States. The 43 cities in the service area, including a portion of the City of Los Angeles, and other unincorporated parts of LA County use about 220,000 acre-feet (72 billion gallons) of groundwater annually which accounts for nearly half of the region's water supply needs.
WRD ensures that a reliable supply of high-quality groundwater is available through replenishment with recycled water and stormwater capture. WRD is responsible for monitoring and testing groundwater throughout the region using effective management principles.
