Explain. The purpose of the Mid Basin Centennial Park Injection Well Project is to increase groundwater supplies within the Change County Groundwater Basin to ensure that adequate amounts of underground water are available for Orange County residents including low - income households. By maintaining adequate groundwater supplies, less water would have to be imported into Orange County which is significantly higher in costs and which could have a higher economic impact on lower income households. The implementation of the Mud Basin Centennial Park Injection Wells Project would increase groundwater supplies and would result in beneficial impacts to Change County residents including lower income households.
