Show PART II PRESENT STATUS A population of almost 100,600 in the Green River Subregion had an average domestic withdrawal requirement of 165 gpcd. The average domestic depletion was 53 gpcd. Domestic depletions were 32 percent of domestic withdrawal requirements. Manufacturing depletions were 14 percent of manufacturing withdrawal requirements. The manufacturing water requirements in the subregion were required primarily by dairies, meat packing plants, and soft drink bottlers in the food and kindred products industry; by saw mills and planing mills in the lumber and wood products industry; and by ready-mix concrete firms in the stone, clay and glass industry. Livestock, governmental, and commercial water requirements were significant in the subregion. Commercial and governmental water with- drawal requirements accounted for 8 percent of total withdrawals in both categories. Livestock requirements accounted for 33 percent of total with- drawals and 63 percent of total depletions. Evaporation from stock water- ing ponds accounted for 8,400 acre-feet or 63 percent of total livestock depletion in the Green River Subregion. Upper Main Stem Subregion M&I water uses in the Upper Main Stem Subregion had a withdrawal requirement of 50,100 acre-feet in 1965. The depletion for these uses was 23,500 acre-feet, which amounted to approximately 47 percent of the withdrawal requirement. The subregional withdrawal requirements and depletion for water uses are summarized in Table 5. A population of just over 136,700 in the Upper Main Stem Subregion had an average domestic withdrawal requirement of 141 gpcd. The average depletion requirement was 52 gpcd. Domestic depletion requirements were 37 percent of domestic withdrawal requirements. 14 |
