Estimated Water Flows in 2005: United States
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
A flow chart depicting water use in the United States has been constructed from publicly available data and estimates of water use patterns. Approximately 410,500 million gallons per day of water are managed for use in farming, power production, residential, commercial and industrial applications. Water is obtained from four major resource classes: fresh surface-water, saline (ocean) surface-water, fresh groundwater and saline (brackish) groundwater. Water that is not consumed or evaporated during its use is returned to surface bodies of water. The flow chart serves as a compact “visual atlas” that contributes to a comprehensive “systems view” of national water resources, use and disposition.
