| Abstract: | This report summarizes the uses of water in Wisconsin during 1979. It considers all uses except those not involving significant position movement such as recreation. The greatest single use of water, an instream use, was for hydroelectric power production. About 26 trillion gallons, or 93% was used for this purpose. Of the other 7% where water is pumped to a different location 81% (6% of all water use) was cooling water for thermoelectric powerplants. Withdrawals of surface water by public and private systems are for residential, industrial, commercial, irrigation, and stock uses. (USGS) |
