Water Supply and Strategy Analysis

The Water Supply and Strategy Analysis team collects and analyzes the data produced by the 16 regions as part of their planning process and administers the Regional Water Planning Database. The Water Supply and Strategy Analysis team also conducts ad-hoc queries and reports from the water planning database.

Water Uses and Projections

Water Use Survey

The Water Use Survey team performs several data collection and analysis duties. The primary function of this unit is to operate the annual water uses survey. The water uses survey is a tool used to document yearly water usage by industrial (including mining, manufacturing, and steam electric) and municipal water users across the state. In addition, the Water Use Survey team evaluates the data to create yearly state-wide water use estimates.

Economic and Demographic Research

The Economic and Demographic Research team is a unit that conducts several analyses, including the preparation of population and water use projections and the economic impact analysis of unmet water needs. Agricultural and irrigation water use analysis is also performed by this unit.
