“The great news is, we completed this work in time to take advantage of this historically wet year,” he added. According to water officials, the water bank will take water directly from the East Branch of the State Water Project’s California Aqueduct and move it into recharge basins, where it percolates into the underlying aquifer. When water is needed, it can be pumped out using newly built wells and delivered to Southern California communities through the California Aqueduct.
Hagekhalil also called on SoCal residents to be more efficient with their water use, and added, “Metropolitan is also making big investments to adapt to future stresses on our water supplies.” Metropolitan provided $211 million for construction of the project on Antelope Valley-East Kern property that was formerly farmland and vacant land.
