It ensures the continued stewardship of the 300-acre Agua Hedionda Lagoon adjacent to the plant, along with its recreational and marine resources. In addition, Poseidon Water is restoring 66 acres of coastal wetlands in San Diego Bay. To top it off, the Carlsbad Desalination Project is the first major infrastructure project in California that has adopted a comprehensive strategy to eliminate its carbon footprint. That means we can have a highly reliable, drought-proof water source in an environmentally responsible way. The Carlsbad Desalination Plant provides San Diego County with an independentlycontrolled, drought proof supply of drinking water. This has effectively improved regional water supply reliability by reducing reliance on imported water sources dependent on rain and snowpack. While there is no single method to combat San Diego County’s water supply challenges, the plant is a critical resource for meeting the region’s current and future needs. By restoring local control to the region’s water supply, the Carlsbad Desalination Plant stands as a pillar of its water reliability future, which will be quenching the thirst of San Diego County for generations to come.
