Irvine Ranch Water District（IRWD）在加利福尼亚州奥兰治县戴尔路井田的深层含水层中可以获得大量高颜色的地下水。这种地下水供应可以作为奥兰治县当地的新水源，减少当地供水商对进口水的依赖。IRWD目前正在评估处理技术，以去除地下水中的颜色和消毒副产品前体，地下水的颜色单位高达200。该试点项目的目标是开发一种有效且经济的处理策略，能够将高颜色的地下水转化为最高质量的饮用水。

The Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) has access to a large quantity of highly colored groundwater in the deep aquifer at the Dyer Road Well Field in Orange County, California. This groundwater supply may serve as a new source of local water for Orange County and reduce the dependency of local water purveyors on imported water. IRWD is currently evaluating treatment technologies to remove both color and disinfection byproduct precursors from this groundwater, which has color units as high as 200. The goal of this pilot project is to develop an effective and economical treatment strategy capable of turning highly colored groundwater into potable water of the highest quality.
