2014: Water Banking Provides Emergency Supply During Critical Shortage Conditions
As part of its diversified water portfolio, IRWD uses water banking Water Banking to augment imported water reliability and safeguard IRWD customers from imported water shortages. The District’s Strand Ranch Integrated Water Banking Project in 2014 was honored by the Association of California Water Agencies with the organization’s prestigious Clair Hill Award. The water bank is an important part of IRWD's commitment to provide the water our customers need during critical shortage conditions while maintaining reasonable rates.
