ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT
HISTORY AND CHARACTER
The District receives an average of only 13 to
15 inches of rainfall annually, yet sustains a
population of approximately 2.4 million
people. The residents and businesses within
the District have two primary sources of
drinking water. One source is a natural
underground reservoir, called the Orange
County groundwater basin. The other source,
referred to as imported water, comes from
Colorado through the Colorado River
Aqueduct and from the Sacramento/San
Joaquin Delta in Northern California through
the State Water Project.
The groundwater basin was used by early
settlers to supplement flows from the Santa
Ana River.
As the area developed into a thriving
agricultural center, the increased demand
upon the subsurface water by the county’s
many wells resulted in a gradual lowering of
the water table. In response, the Orange
County Water District was formed in 1933 by
a special act of the California State
Legislature. OCWD manages the
groundwater basin that underlies the
northwest half of the county, supplying a
significant percentage of the District’s total
water demand. The remaining demand is
obtained through the Colorado River
Aqueduct and State Water Project via the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California and the Municipal Water District of
Orange County.
