Excess flow down the Carmel River during the recent winter storms provided the third best year ever for capturing and storing water into the Seaside Basin, an important part of ensuring Monterey Peninsula water needs are met. California American Water Co. and the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District worked in tandem to capture 495 million gallons and inject that water into the Seaside Underground Basin as a type of water savings account for future dry years.
