This water-use reanalysis supports the Water Availability and Use Science Program goals of determining the quantity and quality of water that is available for human and ecological uses, now and in the future and helps to identify where and when the Nation may have challenges meeting its demand for water because of insufficient water quantity or quality. National data, consistently estimated, that accounts for water removed (withdrawal) and consumed, respectively, from a groundwater or surface-water source provides needed information of how water is used for public supply and can be used to evaluate the balance between supply and demand.
