Page 6 of 49 Through the Drought Response Program, Reclamation invites states, tribes, irrigation districts, water districts, organizations with water or power delivery authority, and non-profit conservation groups to leverage their money and resources by cost sharing with Reclamation on Drought Resiliency Projects that will increase the reliability of water supplies; improve water management; and provide drought resiliency. The City of Santa Ana (City), located in southern California, will construct a new ion exchange water treatment facility at Well 38. The ion exchange treatment is commonly used for the removal of groundwater contaminants, such as nitrate and perchlorate, and consists of pressurized treatment vessels filled with polymer -based ion exchange resin that removes contaminants as water passes over it. This treatment will allow the City to utilize up to an additional 4,000 acre-feet per year of a reliable groundwater during dry conditions and when facing reduced allocations of imported surface water. The City is currently experiencing severe drought conditions, and this project is aligned with their 2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan. 4.
