Removal of Suspended Solids and Water Quality Improvements from Riverbed Filtration – Eight Years of Demonstration Testing in Orange County, CA

Clogging of surface water recharge systems from suspended solids is a major obstacle to effective groundwater recharge—but what if there were a better way? Join us to learn how the Orange County Water District’s innovative Riverbed Filtration System more than doubled recharge capacity while removing 96% of suspended solids from Santa Ana River water. Discover how this breakthrough could unlock thousands of acre-feet of additional recharge annually and transform the future of water management.
