2015 Georgia water-use information by county and water-use trends by water-planning region

Water-withdrawal, water-use, and water-return information have been collected and compiled for each county in Georgia every 5 years since 1980 using data obtained from various Federal, State, private agencies, and on-line sources. For 2015, water use, water withdrawal, and water returns were estimated for each county in Georgia. Off-stream water use in 2015 is estimated for the categories of domestic use, commercial use, industrial use processing, mining use, irrigation use (subdivided into crop and golf course irrigation), livestock, aquaculture, and thermoelectric power cooling. Water-use trends from 1985-2015 have also been compiled for each water-planning region in Georgia.

自1980年起，研究团队每五年便会整合多类联邦、州级、私营机构及在线数据源的原始数据，针对美国佐治亚州的所有郡县，收集并整理取水、用水与回水相关信息。针对2015年，研究人员已完成佐治亚州各郡县的用水、取水及回水量估算工作。2015年的非河道内用水按以下类别进行估算：生活用水、商业用水、工业加工用水、采矿用水、灌溉用水（进一步细分为农作物灌溉与高尔夫球场灌溉）、畜禽养殖用水、水产养殖用水及热电冷却用水。此外，研究团队还整理了1985年至2015年间佐治亚州各水资源规划区域的用水变化趋势数据。
