<strong>Water</strong> Sources and Supply Reliability<br />
3.3.12. Projections <strong>of</strong> Groundwater Production<br />
Based on the annual MWDOC survey completed by each Producer in the spring <strong>of</strong> 2010,<br />
the estimated demand for groundwater in the OCWD boundary will increase from<br />
519,000 AFY in 2015 to 558,000 AFY in 2035 representing a 7.5 percent increase over a<br />
20 year period.<br />
OCWD’s estimated total annual groundwater production for the water year 2010-2011 is<br />
295,000 AF based on a BPP <strong>of</strong> 62 percent and includes 22,000 AF <strong>of</strong> production from<br />
water quality improvement projects.<br />
Table 3-10 shows the amount <strong>of</strong> groundwater projected to be pumped from all the Basins<br />
within MWDOC’s service area in the next 25 years.<br />

3.4. Surface <strong>Water</strong><br />
MWDOC does not use surface water for its water supply. However, surface water<br />
provides an additional local source to some MWDOC member agencies, including<br />
IRWD, Serrano <strong>Water</strong> <strong>District</strong>, Trabuco Canyon <strong>Water</strong> <strong>District</strong>, and the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Orange</strong>.<br />
Surface water supplies in <strong>Orange</strong> <strong>County</strong> are captured mostly from Santiago Creek into<br />
Santiago Reservoir (a.k.a. Irvine Lake) and some reclaimed from local streams and urban<br />
run<strong>of</strong>f in south <strong>Orange</strong> <strong>County</strong> (in the Santa Margarita <strong>Water</strong> <strong>District</strong> service area).<br />
There are a few other dams located on the smaller streams throughout the <strong>County</strong>;<br />
however, these are generally only for flood control or local agricultural use. Effort has<br />
been made in exploring the opportunity for increasing utilization <strong>of</strong> water in San Juan<br />
Basin in south <strong>Orange</strong> <strong>County</strong> through the development <strong>of</strong> desalters and percolation<br />
basins.<br />
Table 3-11 shows the projected surface supply in 5-year increments from 2010 to 2035.<br />
