The Aquifer Storage & Recovery (ASR)  project, which takes excess winter flows from the Carmel River and stored them in the Seaside Basin, smashed the previous records for a water year and stored 764 million gallons of water in 2017. The total which amounts to approximately 2300 acre-feet of water is over 20% of the yearly water use on the Monterey Peninsula. To lean more about ASR CLICK HERE
