Beach runoff capture plant at Aliso Creek unveiled
The Aliso facility collects urban runoff from uphill communities in Trabuco Canyon and Saddleback Valley to blend with recycled water, reducing salinity for landscape irrigation. It also polishes existing supplies when creek flow is low, funded through cross-agency cooperation and various funds.

Aliso Creek Flow Changes From 1930s to 2013
Historical data show Aliso Creek was intermittent before urbanization with little flow in dry periods. Since 1970 flows rose due to development and runoff, increasing from about 4500 to 450 gallons per minute over 30 years, but drought and conservation cut 2004-06 highs to 2900 by 2013.
