Turning raw sewage into pure water in just 12 hours?
The Orange County Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) makes it a reality!
As the world's largest indirect potable reuse facility, the GWRS purifies up to 130 million gallons of water daily through a rigorous three-step process: microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and advanced oxidation with UV light and hydrogen peroxide.
This highly purified water then replenishes local groundwater basins and fortifies a barrier against seawater intrusion, securing a sustainable local supply for one million people and significantly reducing reliance on imported sources.
It's a powerful testament to how innovation can ensure our water future.
