Renewable Water Supply

Managed aquifer recharge, or artificial recharge is a critical part of Chino Valley’s water resource management strategy.

Treated waste water provides a renewable source of water that can be utilized to recharge the aquifers below Chino Valley. This allows for long-term storage of water for recovery at a future time.
