Estimated Groundwater Withdrawals from Principal Aquifers in the United States—County Level Data for 2015

This dataset contains estimates of water withdrawals from 66 principal aquifers and "other" non-principal aquifers during 2015 for various categories of use in each county or county equivalent in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Water Use Science Project is responsible for compiling and disseminating the Nation's water-use data. Withdrawal estimates are summarized in USGS Circular 1464, "Estimated Groundwater Withdrawals from Principal Aquifers in the United States, 2015" (Lovelace and others, 2020). This dataset contains the estimated groundwater withdrawals from principal aquifers by county and county equivalent that are summarized by lithologic...

Southern Hills aquifer system

The Southern Hills aquifer system is a valuable source of accessible, high-quality water in Louisiana. In 2015, over 209 million gallons per day of groundwater were withdrawn within the 5-parish Baton Rouge capital area including East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, West Feliciana, and Pointe Coupee parishes. Groundwater is currently the sole source for public supply and supports a range of industrial activity. Groundwater withdrawals since the 1940s have lowered water levels, altered groundwater-flow directions, and have caused saltwater to intrude into some freshwater-containing sands of the Southern Hills aquifer system beneath Baton Rouge. In cooperation with the Capital Area Groundwater Conservation...

Estimated Use of Water in the United States County-Level Data for 2015

This dataset contains water-use estimates for 2015 that are aggregated to the county level in the United States. The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS's) National Water Use Science Project 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. Water-use estimates aggregated to the State level are presented in USGS Circular 1441, "Estimated Use of Water in the United States in 2015" (Dieter and others, 2018). This dataset contains the county-level water-use data that support the state-level estimates in Dieter and others 2018. This...
