Water-use data collection techniques in the southeastern United States, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. Water resources investigations
The report describes the techniques and methods used by the U.S. Geological Survey, State, and local cooperators to collect water-use data from 1985-90 in the following Southeastern States, Commonwealth, or Territory: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, South Carolina, and Tennessee. In 1977, the Congress of the United States directed the U.S. Geological Survey to establish a National Water-Use Information Program to complement the Survey`s data on availability and quality of the Nation`s water resources. Water-use data are collected in as many as 11 categories as part of this national water-use information program. Each State section includes the following information: a definition of each category of use, the source of information, a descrition of how the data are collected, the technique used for estimating water use for the category, a listing of the data components necessary for estimating water use for each category, and a description of how the water-use information is aggregated.
