National Water Summary 1987: Hydrologic events and water supply and use. Annual report
The report, which is the fifth of an annual series describing the Nation's water resources, focuses on water supply and use and describes the source, use, and disposition of water in each State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Each State summary contains an overview of water supply and use, including a simplified State water budget, a brief history of water-resources development in the State, a description of the major categories of water use and their geographic distribution within the State, and a summary of water-use-management activities. Multicolor illustrations show the State's water budget; growth of reservoir storage; population distribution in 1985 and the historical growth of population; surface-water, ground-water, and total withdrawals by county; freshwater withdrawals by category of use and by principal river basins and aquifers; and the source, use, and disposition of total freshwater withdrawals. Also summarized are the State agencies, laws, and regulations involved in the management of water supply and use. Other parts of the report provide a review of significant hydrologic events in the 1987 water year; describe trends and factors that affect domestic, industrial, and agricultural water use; review estimation techniques for determining instream-flow requirements; and discuss the benefits and capabilities of water-use forecast.
