The West Branch of the California Aqueduct terminates at Pyramid Lake and Castaic Lake to supply the western Los Angeles Basin.
Pyramid Lake stores 72.3 billion gallons of water from the California Aqueduct for the Los Angeles Basin.
Castaic Lake stores 103 billion gallons of water from the California Aqueduct for the Los Angeles Basin.
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California manages the Colorado River Aqueduct. The aqueduct impounds water from the Colorado River at Lake Havasu, and provides the majority of Southern California’s drinking water.

RENOVATION OF GRAND CENTRAL MARKET AS WATER-REUSE URBAN NODE
EXISTING URBAN WATER CYCLE
BUILDING TYPE WATER INTERCHANGE
PROPOSED URBAN WATER CYCLEThe existing water infrastructure incorporates water reuse but the water must go through an intensive treatment before it can be used again.The proposed system reroutes greywater from different building types so that the greywater undergoes minimal treatment before being reused. The strategy is also known as “scalping”.

Greywater from the office is provided by condensation from air conditioning, and water from other uses such as using a sink.
Greywater from both the office buildings and from the residential buildings are filtered selectively depending on what the water was used for.
