| 英文摘要 | The population in the Desert Southwest is among the fastest growing in the country. In this area, groundwater supplies have been developed, surface-water resources have been fully appropriated, and conservation and conjunctive water-use measures are being used to meet water-resource needs. Complex networks of water-distribution systems have been developed to deliver surface-water supplies, and interstate agreements, such as the Colorado River Compact of 1922, help manage the distribution of water among many States in the Western United States, including Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. Estimated water-withdrawal and related data were compiled from various sources to identify trends in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. More water is used for agriculture than domestic and industrial use in these five States. From 1950 to 2000, however, the percentage increase in withdrawal for domestic water use exceeded that for agricultural use. Data from 1950 to 2000 were compiled and examined to identify changes over time in ground-water and surface-water withdrawals for agricultural, domestic, and self-supplied industrial water uses for the States, counties, and water-resources regions. Withdrawals for agricultural use include water used for crop irrigation and, when reported, for livestock use. Withdrawals for domestic use include reported public water supply as well as self-supplied domestic use. Withdrawals for industrial water use include self-supplied water used for mining, thermoelectric, and other general industrial and commercial purposes. Only fresh ground water and surface water for all offstream uses were compiled. |
