The Brine Line is the primary method for salt export. Salinityhas been increasing in the watershed’s groundwater basins due to the historical import of water foragricultural purposes. Removing salt by means of the Brine Line allows the Watershed to work towardsachieving salt balance – a key Watershed goal and indicator of sustainability. Salt is removed frombrackish groundwater by reverse osmosis desalters, which discharge the concentrated brine into theBrine Line. The treated water from the desalters is delivered for consumption as potable water. TheBrine Line is also used for the disposal of industrial wastewater that is unacceptable for discharge intolocal wastewater treatment facilities, usually because of high concentrations of TDS from commercialand industrial facilities.4
