While some communities in California find ways to better retain water from recent storms to help in their fight against the ongoing drought, the Orange County Water District has been able to capture the bulk of it.
Adam Hutchinson, recharge planning manager for OCWD said in the past, there's been years when they've had almost no storm water to collect.While some communities in California find ways to better retain water from recent storms to help in their fight against the ongoing drought, Hutchinson said OCWD has been able to capture the bulk of it.
He adds the OCWD's imperial rubber damn near the 91 Freeway in Anaheim diverts half a million gallons of water a minute from the Santa Ana River into the district's recharge basin. Hutchinson said the pool can hold 16 billion gallons of water. Even then, he said some water is sent out to the ocean.
