The Water Replenishment District (WRD) is a regional groundwater agency in Southern California focused on managing and protecting local groundwater resources for millions of residents. Operating in a 420-square-mile area of southern Los Angeles County, WRD oversees the use of groundwater by dozens of cities within its service region, ensuring a reliable supply of high-quality water through strategies such as recycled water and stormwater capture, and by monitoring groundwater quality and usage. The organization serves as a steward of the region’s water supply, aiming to secure existing aquifers and improve water resilience for communities that rely on groundwater for about half of the area’s water needs. Headquartered in Lakewood, WRD positions itself within the environmental services sector as a critical public utility-like entity. It engages in partnerships and community-related initiatives, including recent collaborations and events such as the Torrance Groundwater Desalter Expansion Project and the annual Groundwater Festival, reflecting its role in regional water management and public engagement. The agency’s work is supported by a staff focused on monitoring, testing, and applying effective management practices to preserve groundwater resources for four million residents in its jurisdiction.
