Estimated use of water in the United States in 1970
Technical Report

OSTI ID:7314674
Estimates of water use in the United States in 1970 indicate that an average of about 370 bgd (billion gallons per day) or about 1,800 gallons per capita per day was withdrawn for the four principal off-channel uses which are: public-supply (for domestic, commercial, and industrial uses); rural (domestic and livestock); irrigation; and self-supplied industrial (including thermoelectric power). In 1970, withdrawals for these uses exceeded by 19 percent the 310 bgd estimated for 1965. Estimates of water withdrawn from the principal sources indicated that 68 bgd came from fresh groundwater, 1 bgd came from saline groundwater, 250 bgd came from fresh surface water, 53 bfd came from saline surface water, and 0.5 bgd was reclaimed sewage.
