“…The remaining groundwater was withdrawn for domestic self-supplied (12 percent), public supply (11 percent), and commercial-industrial-mining self-supplied or power generation (8 percent). Surface-water withdrawals totaled 41 Mgal/d in Jackson County for 2010, and nearly all of the surface water was withdrawn for power generation (Marella, 2014). All of the groundwater withdrawn in Jackson County is obtained from the Floridan aquifer system, and nearly all of the surface water withdrawn is from the Chattahoochee River (Marella, 2014).…”

“…Excluding surface-water withdrawals for once-through power generation, groundwater is the predominant water source for all other users in Jackson County (Marella, 2014). In 2010, total groundwater withdrawals were 23.6 million gallons per day (Mgal/d), and about 16 Mgal/d (68 percent) were for agricultural needs (Marella, 2014) (fig.…”

“…Water withdrawals for agricultural irrigation refer to water used for crop irrigation and for non-irrigation uses associated with agricultural and farming operations (Marella, 2014). Crop irrigation includes the application of water on lands to assist in cultivation of crops or to prevent crop damage caused by harsh weather.…”

“…The most common procedure used to estimate water withdrawals for agricultural irrigation in Florida is to multiply the reported or published number of acres of each crop irrigated by a cropspecific net irrigation requirement, also known as an application rate (Marella, 2014). The acres irrigated and the application rates both are estimated by each of five water management districts (WMD) for the counties within their boundaries.…”

A detailed inventory of irrigated crop acreage is not available at the level of resolution needed to accurately estimate water use or to project future water demands in many Florida counties. This report provides a detailed digital map and summary of irrigated areas for 2014 within Jackson, Calhoun, and Gadsden Counties in Florida, and Houston County in Alabama. The irrigated areas were delineated using land-use data and orthoimagery that were then field verified between June and November 2014. Selected attribute data were collected for the irrigated areas, including crop type, primary water source, and type of irrigation system. Results of the 2014 study indicate that an estimated 31,608 acres were irrigated in Jackson County during 2014. This estimate includes 25,733 acres of field crops, 1,534 acres of ornamentals and grasses (including pasture), and 420 acres of orchards. Specific irrigated crops include cotton (11,759 acres), peanuts (9,909 acres), field corn (2,444 acres), and 3,235 acres of various vegetable (row) crops. The vegetable acreage includes 1,714 acres of which 857 acres were planted with both a spring and fall crop on the same field (double cropped). Overall, groundwater was used to irrigate 98.6 percent of the total irrigated acreage in Jackson County during 2014, whereas surface water and wastewater were used to irrigate the remaining 1.4 percent.

High‐Resolution Water Footprints of Production of the United States

The United States is the largest producer of goods and services in the world. Rainfall, surface water supplies, and groundwater aquifers represent a fundamental input to economic production. Despite the importance of water resources to economic activity, we do not have consistent information on water use for specific locations and economic sectors. A national, spatially detailed database of water use by sector would provide insight into U.S. utilization and dependence on water resources for economic production. To this end, we calculate the water footprint of over 500 food, energy, mining, services, and manufacturing industries and goods produced in the United States. To do this, we employ a data intensive approach that integrates water footprint and input‐output techniques into a novel methodological framework. This approach enables us to present the most detailed and comprehensive water footprint analysis of any country to date. This study broadly contributes to our understanding of water in the U.S. economy, enables supply chain managers to assess direct and indirect water dependencies, and provides opportunities to reduce water use through benchmarking. In fact, we find that 94% of U.S. industries could reduce their total water footprint more by sourcing from more water‐efficient suppliers in their supply chain than they could by converting their own operations to be more water‐efficient.
