Abstract
This article discusses a large‐scale groundwater replenishment program by the Orange County (California) Water District. The district purchased 200,000 acre‐ft of water that was brought 275 mi from the Colorado River into the district through the aqueduct system of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). This water replenished the large groundwater basin underlying the district, and cost the Orange County Water District $2,400,000, paid for by revenue derived from two sources. Approximately one‐third was bought with money raised by an ad valorem tax on all real property within the district. Two‐thirds was purchased with money collected from a replenishment assessment levied by the district on all water produced from the groundwater supply and paid by those who pumped the water.
