The excess groundwater is pumped for use as part of the water deliveries to Mexico in compliance with an international treaty. The existing SCADA system has been in place and in operation since 2008. The current SCADA system requires a technical upgrade to replace the existing computer hardware and software. All software applications require an upgrade to provide an interface with Windows 7 operating system.
