Show the endogenous^ 1 nonagriculture sectors given in this study ( see Table 1) is 460,000 acre feet, excluding government ( state, local and federal) and household water usage. Household water intake is estimated at 100 gallons per day per person, resulting in a total of 110,000 acre feet on the basis of the Utah population for 1963. Water intake for governmental activity is estimated at 20,000 acre feet. These three figures total to 590,000 acre feet, as compared to 530,000 acre feet estimated from Osmond L. Harline's study [ 11]-- not an unreasonable difference. The second study [ 3] gives agriculture water intake at 5,000,000 acre feet. Compare this with the 2,530,000 acre feet of water intake estimated for this study. ( Note that most of this water goes to Sector 1, Crops.) Given the high water intake position of agriculture relative to that of all other industries in the above water allocation comparisons, it would seem that, if anything, this study posits a somewhat conservative water intake demand as far as agriculture is concerned. 9 1 The concept " endogenous" is analogous to the sausage grinder. Some thing goes in and something comes out, but what goes on inside the grinder is endogenous. The endogenous part of the economy, therefore, relates to the inter sectorial part of the economy-- the part of the economy where activities are all mutually interdependent upon each other. 64 |
