Resource Abstract:
- description: This EnviroAtlas dataset includes industrial water demand attributes which provide insight into the amount of
water currently used for manufacturing and production of commodities in the contiguous United States. The values are based
on 2010 water demand and Dun and Bradstreet's 2009/2010 source data, and have been summarized by watershed or 12-digit
hydrologic unit code (HUC). For the purposes of this metric, industrial water use includes chemical, food, paper, wood, and
metal production. The industrial water is for self-supplied only such as by private wells or reservoirs. Sources include either
surface water or groundwater. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related
to the EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use,
mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available
as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive
information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).;
