Santa Ana River Groundwater Recharge Facility
Optimization Study
The San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District and the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (Municipal District), “Districts,” retained MWH Americas, Inc., in association with GEI Consultants to evaluate the capacity of the existing Conservation District facilities along the Santa Ana River to capture and store the proposed spreading objectives identified in the Upper Santa Ana River Watershed Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP).
The goals of this project are to evaluate the ability of the existing facilities to meet the recharge objective of 500 cfs, recommend and provide conceptual designs for improvements to meet the objective of 500 cfs (if needed), and provide recommendations on the operations and maintenance activities that will maximize recharge capacity.
