Alamitos Barrier Deep Soil Mixing Pilot Study (Physical Barrier Project)Alamitos Barrier Deep Soil Mixing Pilot Study (Physical Barrier Project)
This concept seeks to create a "physical barrier" at the Alamitos Gap to replace the water injection scheme of the current barrier system.
Geographic Information System (GIS)Geographic Information System (GIS)
The WRD GIS system is used to organize and store an extensive database of information, including well locations, water level data, water quality information, well construction data, production data, aquifer locations, and computer model files.
Hydrogeology ProgramHydrogeology Program
Addresses numerous projects and programs related to the science of hydrogeology in the Central and West Coast Basins, including preparation of the annual Engineering Survey and Report.
Increased Spreading at Dominguez GapIncreased Spreading at Dominguez Gap
The primary benefit of increased spreading at the Dominguez Gap Spreading Grounds is the conservation of free local water.
Leo J. Vander Lans Water Treatment Facility ProjectLeo J. Vander Lans Water Treatment Facility Project
This facility provides advanced treatment to recycled water and will replace 50% of the imported water to the Alamitos Seawater Intrusion Barrier.
Regional Groundwater Monitoring ProgramRegional Groundwater Monitoring Program
This program currently consists of a network of approximately 200 monitoring wells at 45 locations throughout the district.
Replenishment OperationsReplenishment Operations
The Water Replenishment District has been charged with the task of spreading or injecting water into the ground to maintain an ample, high-quality groundwater supply.
Robert W. Goldsworthy Desalter ProjectRobert W. Goldsworthy Desalter Project
This project removes impacted groundwater from a saline plume stranded inland of the West Coast Basin Barrier.
Safe Drinking Water ProgramSafe Drinking Water Program
Continuing to assist pumpers with developing cost-effective methods to treat groundwater contamination.
San Gabriel River Rubber DamsSan Gabriel River Rubber Dams
These improvements could capture and conserve an additional 3,600 acre-feet per year of local stormwater that would otherwise be wasted to the ocean.
Seawater Barrier Improvement ProgramSeawater Barrier Improvement Program
Optimization and effectiveness of the Alamitos, Dominguez Gap, and West Coast Basin Seawater Barriers.
Whittier Narrows Conservation PoolWhittier Narrows Conservation Pool
The Whittier Narrows Conservation Pool Project would provide for the capture and conservation of approximately 2,900 acre-feet per year of local stormwater that would otherwise be wasted to the ocean.
