Chesapeake Bay Future Conditions Report. Volume V. Water Supply.
Abstract
The subject of this volume is municipal and industrial water supply, and as such, will focus on the existing and future demands for freshwater in the Bay Region. In addition to identifying the future water supply demands, this volume also provides an assessment of both available freshwater supplies and potential deficits. Also included is a discussion of the measures that can be used to either meet or control future water supply demands. Those studies required to develop comprehensive water supply plans for the Chesapeake Bay Region are also identified. It also identifies and quantifies current agricultural uses of water in the study area. Agricultural demands are then estimated for the target date period through the year 2020. Finally, the ability of the region to meet those demands is addressed, along with their impacts and the potential problems and conflicts engendered by the demands. An attempt is also made to test the sensitivity of the water use projections by varying several of the basic assumptions made in the analysis.
