Some words are used interchangeably. A few commonly used water terms are defined for use in this document.

But it is also " used" in place for such things as fish and wildlife habitat, recreation and hydropower production. Commercial Use - Uses normally associated with small business operations which may include drinking water, food preparation, personal sanitation, facility cleaning and maintenance, and irrigation of landscapes. Consumptive Use - Consumption of water for residential, commercial, institutional industrial, agricultural, power generation and recreational purposes. Naturally occurring vegetation and wildlife also consumptively use water. Water consumed is not available for other uses within the system.
