Lower Mississippi Region Comprehensive Study. Appendix K. Municipal and Industrial Water Supply.
Abstract
This appendix is one of a series of appendixes presenting water data and information for the Lower Mississippi Region Comprehensive Study. Its purpose is threefold: to quantify 1970 water withdrawals for municipal and industrial use, for thermoelectric power production and for rural domestic use in the Lower Mississippi Region, to project the quantified withdrawals to 1980, 2000, and 2020 under the study's long-term objectives, National Income and Regional Development and to determine probable water-shortage areas in the region from a municipal, industrial, and thermoelectric power standpoint, and suggest, in general, possible methods of relief. In this appendix, water withdrawals from ground and from surface sources, fresh and brackish, have been quantified and projected by water resource planning areas (WRPA's) and subareas, for the 50-year period of study from 1970 to 2020.
