Estimated use of water in the United States in Water use in the United States in was estimated to be about billion gallons per day (Bgal/d), which was 13 percent less than in The estimates put total withdrawals at the lowest level since before Water use in the United States in was estimated to be about billion gallons per day (Bgal/d), which was 9 percent less than in The estimates put total withdrawals at the lowest level since beforefollowing the same overall trend of decreasing total withdrawals observed from to Freshwater withdrawals were Bgal/d, or 87 percent of total withdrawals, and Cited by:   This letter consists of a first-order analysis of the primary energy embedded in water in the United States.

Using a combination of top-down sectoral assessments of energy use together with a bottom-up allocation of energy-for-water on a component-wise and service-specific level, our analysis concludes that energy use in the residential, commercial, industrial and power sectors for direct Cited by: The purpose of this report is to present consistent and current water-use estimates by state and water-resources region for the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S.

Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia. Estimates of water withdrawn from surface- and ground-water sources, estimates of consumptive use, and estimates of instream use and wastewater releases during are presented in.

2% of total U.S. electricity use goes towards moving and treating water and wastewater, a 52% increase in electricity use since 3 Most cities use 3, kWh/million gallons of water delivered and treated.

5 Electricity use accounts for around 80% of municipal water processing and distribution costs. Inground water accounted for 39 percent of water withdrawn for public supply for cities and towns and 96 percent of water withdrawn by self-supplied systems for domestic use.

A variety of chemicals, including nitrate, can pass through the soil and potentially contaminate ground water. Public Supply water use refers to water withdrawn by public and private water suppliers, such as county and municipal water works, and delivered to users for domestic, commercial, and industrial purposes.

Inthe majority of the nation's population, about million, or 84 percent, used water delivered from public water suppliers. Water use in the United States in was estimated to be an average of bgd (billion gallons per day) of fresh and saline water for offstream uses- an 8-percent increase from the estimate and a percent increase from the estimate.

Average per capita use for all offstream uses was 2, gpd (gallons per day) of fresh and saline water, and 1, gpd of fresh water; this.

When this occurs, the two groups can't be separated and are referred to as public use and losses. Public use and losses by State ranged from 3 to 41 percent, and averaged 14 percent of public water supply withdrawals in the United States in (Solley and others, ).

Quality assurance. This report, "Estimated use of water in the United States in ", marks 50 years of water-use data compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Water Use Issues in the Southwest Of the water used for irrigation in the U.S., 2/3 is extracted from surface water and one third from the ground (fig. 3).The western U.S. depends on surface waters for irrigation, but areas such as Lower Colorado River basin and California require greater ground water resources than the other western states.

Data for – from USGS (b). 0 50 The USGS has estimated water use for the United States every 5 years since Estimates are provided for groundwater and surface-water sources, for fresh and saline water quality, and by sector or category of use.

Estimates have been made at the State level sinceand at. Water supply system - Water supply system - Municipal water consumption: Water consumption in a community is characterized by several types of demand, including domestic, public, commercial, and industrial uses.

Domestic demand includes water for drinking, cooking, washing, laundering, and other household functions. Public demand includes water for fire protection, street cleaning, and use in.
