Estimated use of water in the US in 1980
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5820817
Water use in the United States in 1980 was estimated to be an average of 450 Bgd (billion gallons per day) of fresh and saline water for offstream uses - an 8% increase from the 1975 estimate and a 22% increase from the 1970 estimate. Average per capita use for all offstream uses was 2,000 gpd (gallon per day) of fresh and saline water, and 1,600 gpd of fresh water; this represents a slight increase since 1975. Although 1980 estimates of water use were higher than the 1975 estimates for all offstream categories, trends established during the periods 1970 to 1975 and 1975 to 1980 indicate a general slackening in the rate of increase of total withdrawals in comparison to the period 1965 to 1970.
