2009 Texas Water Use Summary Estimates
This page provides the annual water use estimates for the year 2009 summarized by geographic location and by water use category; Municipal, Manufacturing, Mining, Steam Electric Power, Irrigation, and Livestock. The 2009 Water Use estimates, as well as the previously posted estimates, are subject to revision as additional data and corrections are made available to the TWDB.
The Texas Water Development Board is required to provide annual estimates of the State’s water use. The accuracy and dependability of these estimates depend on obtaining accurate and timely information from the annual Water Use Survey. Response to the Survey is mandatory (Section 16.012(m) of the Texas Water Code). Those cities whose primary water utility has not returned a 2009 Survey will be shown with no water use estimate due to their non-response. An estimate based on a previous year’s use for these cities and utilities will temporarily be used in calculation of county-level municipal water use volumes, pending receipt of the Survey.
