For the purposes of the Human Factors of Water Availability project the agricultural sector includes the USGS Water Use Program categories of Irrigation, Livestock, and Aquaculture. Data useful for better understanding water demand in the agricultural sector is provided here including Irrigation districts and irrigated land in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Irrigation price of water data is provided for Mesa County, a key agricultural county in the state of Colorado within the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB), as an example of data that impacts demand and supply of water in the agricultural sector. Crop land cover data was retrieved from the CropScape online data application, the R script used to process data...

For the purposes of the Human Factors of Water Availability project the industrial sector includes the USGS Water Use Program categories of Industiral, Mining, and Thermoelectric. Data related to dams, hydroelectric and thermoelectric power generation within the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) are provided here.
Human factors that influence water availability in the Basin were discovered by reviewing hundreds of published literature items and articles from the literature following an extensive keyword search. The different factors were drawn from reviewing the literature, and datasets to support the factor were researched across open data catalogs and the world wide web. Data related to the Human Factors project water availability sectors of agriculture, industrial, municipal, and those related to ecosystem services, tourism, or other uses can be found here. Reproducible R scripts used to pull data or process data can be found within the section for the sector itself. Reproducible R scripts used to manage the literature...
The R scripts used to process citations used in the literature review as described in the Upper Colorado River Basin report are found here.
For the purposes of the Human Factors of Water Availability project the muncipal sector includes the USGS Water Use Program categories of Public Supply and Domestic. Data that can be used to estimate water demand for the muncipal sector including water rates and demographics for the City of Denver and Mesa County, Colorado are provided here as examples. Economic Census data are included to understand the productivity of areas in the commercial sector. Water service area boundaries are useful to consider and in the future we hope to improve this type of dataset with additional metadata about service area, such as governance, or other characteristics.

For the purposes of the Human Factors of Water Availability project the recreational and environmental sector includes information on protected areas throughout the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) as a distinct category of water used to support recreation or environmental conservation or both. Here we provide a map package of protected areas in the UCRB.
