Use of water in Arkansas, 1975. Water resources summary No. 9

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5322496
Arkansas used an average of 5,064 Mgal/d (million gallons of water per day) in 1975, 65 percent more than in 1970. This total does not include 52,400 Mgal/d used in the generation of hydroelectric energy. The principal categories of water use other than hydroelectric energy generation, are public supply, self-supplied industrial use, rural domestic and livestock use, irrigation, fish and minnow farming, water for wildlife impoundments, and thermoelectric-energy generation. A little more than half the water used was ground water; streams and reservoirs supplied the rest.
