This dataset presents the total estimated monthly public-supply water withdrawal by 12-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC12) in the conterminous United States for 2015. Public-supply water use was estimated by spatially and temporally downscaling available data from each state. The total represents combined groundwater and surface water withdrawals for 83,178 watersheds. Public supply refers to water withdrawn by public and private water suppliers that provide water for cities, towns, rural water districts, mobile-home parks, Native American Indian reservations, and military bases. Public-supply facilities are classified under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 4941 and provide water to at least 25 people...

A regional groundwater flow model (https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2009/5244/) was updated to reflect 2017 pumping conditions in the Tri-County Region covering most of Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties, Michigan. This model was developed to simulate the regional hydrologic system in Tri-County area and continues to be used for planning and protection of area water supplies. Revised contributing area delineations in response to recent pumping conditions were needed for local wellhead protection area programs. The model was calibrated to water level observations for 2017 from well driller logs, average water levels for 2012-17 from active USGS observation wells, and estimated baseflow for 2012-16 from USGS streamgaging...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Use Program is responsible for compiling and disseminating the Nation's water-use data. Working in cooperation with local, State, and Federal agencies, the USGS has published an estimate of water use in the United States every 5 years, beginning in 1950. These 5-year compilations contain water-use estimates that are aggregated to the county level in the United States. This USGS data release contains summaries of method codes used in the 2015 national compilation of public supply, self-supplied domestic, thermoelectric, and irrigation water-use data. This data release also contains the county-level water-use estimates that support the evaluations in Luukkonen and others...

An inventory of facilities that bottle water or other beverages containing water (including soft drinks, beer, wine, or spirits) or that manufacture ice was compiled by combining available datasets from multiple sources. This water bottling inventory dataset includes facilities within all 50 states of the United States, one federal district (Washington, District of Columbia), and three territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands). The inventory focuses on presently active facilities in 2023. Most closed water bottling facilities are not included; however, facilities identified as being a former production site (meaning the facility is still active but the business function has changed) or as closed during...

This child item describes R code used to determine public supply consumptive use estimates. Consumptive use was estimated by scaling an assumed fraction of deliveries used for outdoor irrigation by spatially explicit estimates of evaporative demand using estimated domestic and commercial, industrial, and institutional deliveries from the public supply delivery machine learning model child item. This method scales public supply water service area outdoor water use by the relationship between service area gross reference evapotranspiration provided by GridMET and annual continental U.S. (CONUS) growing season maximum evapotranspiration. This relationship to climate at the CONUS scale could result in over- or under-estimation...

This child item describes R code used to determine water source fractions (groundwater (GW), surface water (SW), or spring (SP)) for public-supply water service areas, counties, and 12-digit hydrologic unit codes (HUC12) using information from a proprietary dataset from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Water-use volumes per source were not available from public-supply systems so water source fractions were calculated by the number of withdrawal source types (GW/SW). For example, for a public supply system with three SW intakes and one GW well, the fractions would be 0.75 SW and 0.25 GW. This dataset is part of a larger data release using machine learning to predict public supply water use for 12-digit hydrologic...

The U.S. Geological Survey is developing national water-use models to support water resources management in the United States. Model benefits include a nationally consistent estimation approach, greater temporal and spatial resolution of estimates, efficient and automated updates of results, and capabilities to forecast water use into the future and assess model uncertainty. The term “reanalysis” refers to the process of reevaluating and recalculating water-use data using updated or refined methods, data sources, models, or assumptions. In this data release, water use refers to water that is withdrawn by public and private water suppliers and includes water provided for domestic, commercial, industrial, thermoelectric...
