Study of Brine Discharge from Desalination Plant Finds Good News and Bad News – Before the Carlsbad Desalination Plant in Southern California began operations in 2015, scientists at UC Santa Cruz recognized an important opportunity to study the effects of the high-salinity brine that would be discharged from the plant into coastal waters. Starting in 2014, they collected measurements of water chemistry and biological indicators in the area so they could compare conditions before and after the plant began discharging brine into the ocean.

Carlsbad Desalination Plant Purifies 40 Billionth Gallon of Ocean Water – Carlsbad The newest source of drinking water in our county just reached a major milestone. Around 100 million gallons of seawater are pumped through the filters at the Carlsbad desalination plant every day. Within about three hours that water is purified and sent to the taps. After three strong years, the plant just produced its 40 billionth gallon of drinking water. Thatâs enough water to fill a billion bathtubs, or fill every floor of the empire state building, 145 times. (LINK).

Poseidonâs Carlsbad desalination plant plagued by problems – USA-California Contact: Nicole Lampe, Resource Media Huntington Beach proposal faces steep opposition Orange County, CA â Poseidon Water, and its Canadian-owned parent company Brookfield Infrastructure Partners, have spent millions trying lobbying for approval of a new desalination plant in Huntington Beach. The billion dollar facility would be the twin of a Carlsbad plant Poseidon built in December 2015, which has been plagued with problems since its opening. As Voice of San Diego reported yesterday, the Carlsbad plant failed to deliver about 20 percent of the promised water in 2016, and produced no water for 46 days.
