About the Central Basin
The Central Basin consists of a series of underground aquifers beneath much of South Los Angeles County. It extends south to Orange County and west to the Newport-Inglewood Fault.
The Water Repleishment District recharges groundwater reserves in the Central Basin through spreading grounds on the San Gabriel River and utilizes injection facilities in the Alamitos Gap to block seawater intrusion.

Groundwater Recharge
About the Central Basin
The Central Basin consists of a series of underground aquifers beneath much of South Los Angeles County. It extends south to Orange County and west to the Newport-Inglewood Fault.
The Water Repleishment District recharges groundwater reserves in the Central Basin through spreading grounds on the San Gabriel River and utilizes injection facilities in the Alamitos Gap to block seawater intrusion.
