The Central and West Basin Water Replenishment District was formed in 1959 to manage the Central and West Coast groundwater basins. In November 1991, the District changed its name to the Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD).
The Mission of WRD is ""To provide, protect and preserve high quality groundwater through innovative, cost-effective and environmentally sensitive basin management practices for the benefit of residents and businesses of the Central and West Coast Basins.”
WRD provides groundwater for nearly four million residents in 43 cities of southern Los Angeles County, encompassing 420 square miles. WRD protects the Central and West Coast Groundwater Basins through groundwater replenishment, deterrence of seawater
intrusion, and groundwater contamination prevention and clean-up programs.
The District is divided into five elective districts. The governing board is made up of one elected director from each division. The District has a total budget of $71 million with approximately 38 employees.
