A solar-powered pump installed at California's Santa Susana Field Laboratory in 2024 has removed more than 65,000 gallons of contaminated groundwater in two years, nearly 70% of everything pumped there since 2017
- The new setup can pump groundwater seven days a week, without relying on electricity from the grid or a generator.
- That has allowed the cleanup operation to run more consistently while increasing the volume of water that can be removed from the affected area.
- A small shift in how groundwater is collected is making a measurable difference at California's Santa Susana Field Laboratory.
