Pure Water Monterey: A Groundwater Replenishment Project
Summary
The Monterey Peninsula Groundwater Replenishment Project (GWR Project) is a project proposed by a partnership between Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD), Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency (MRWPCA), and California American Water Company (CalAm). The proposed project aims to establish a reliable source of drinking water by recharging the Seaside Groundwater Basin in Seaside, CA with treated waste water. The project goal is to provide CalAm with an additional 3,500 acre-feet per year (AFY) to replace water that is currently drawn from the Carmel River, since CalAm has been issued a Cease and Desist order from the state to reduce waster diversions from the Carmel River by December 2016 [1].
