The USGS compiles water use information by State including estimated amounts, sources, and categories of use every five years since 1950.
Sources include surface water and groundwater, both fresh and saline. Categories include public supply, domestic, livestock, industrial, irrigation, and thermoelectric power. These data provide a source of information about regional and national trends in water withdrawals. The current project involves compilation and estimation of these water use data for 2010.
