Large quantities of good quality ground and surfac 7 wa~er are readily available in nearly all section~ o~ tI_ie ~tate. "I1:1s situa- tion, ccxnbined with ample rainfall, makes Mississippi attractive to many industries and to agriculture. Regardless of the abundance of this natural resource, however, plarming for future developmen~ requires . knowledge of present use. It is for this purpose that this tabulation of water use in 1975 in Mississippi is presented. 1he information for this report has been collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Missis~iJ?Pi Board of.Water Conunissioners. Appreciation is expressed to officials of public and private utilities, industry, State, Federal, and local goveTIUilents who provided this data The tenn water use as presented here refers to withdrawals that may be from any source. After use some is :etu:71e~ to. the source _ and used again. The water use is cotmted each tlIIle 1t 1s w1th~rawn, but where water is recirculated, it is counted only once when withdrawn from the source • Figure 1 and table 1 show water use by county and by source. CRIIBRIA FOR DEIBRMINING USE Municipal Supply ~hulicipal supplies, whether publicly or privately owned, include systems in cities, towns, and villages listed in Directdaory of Mis:is- sippi Municipalities. Sixty gallons (227 liter~) per y per capita was used in detennining domestic use where actual figures were not available. Rural Systems Rural systems include all private water companies, water associa- tions and other sources furnishing water to the public outside the citie~, towns, and villages. The source is grmmd wate: unless othe:- wise noted. Fifty gallons (190 liters) per day per capita was used in estimating use for tmmetered systems. The estimated population served is 3. 5 persons per water meter. Rural Self-Supplied Persons served by municipal and rural water systems were subtracted from the population total. 1he rema!,nder of the county popula~ion would be in the category, rural self-supplied. Fifty gallons (190 liters) per day per capita was the estimated use for families with indoor plumbing facilities. Ten gallons (38 liters) per day per capita was the estl.111ated use for families without plumbing facilities. Population with indoor plumbing facilities was detennined from the U.S. Census, 1970. Water for livestock was calculated using Mississippi Agricultural Statistics, 1970, and applying the following factors: Milk cows Other cattle Hogs Chickens Gallons 20 10 3 .04 Liters 76 38 11 • 2 Gross estimate: 40 percent of livestock water use is derived from grol.Illd-water sources and 60 percent is from surface-water sources. water used is conswned • Fuel-Electric Power All Fuel-electric power was tabulated separately owing to the magnitude of usage and not included as part of the public supply. Irrigation Requirements Rice: 4.1 ft per acre (0.50 m/ha); 1975 application. Others: 1.3 ft per acre (0.16 m/ha). Although given in (Mgal/d)/yr, withdrawals are at a_much higher rate over a period of several months. The source 1s estimated to be 18 percent surface water and 82 percent grol.Uld water Catfish Farming Water use is based on one and one-half times the capacity of the ponds; average depth of ponds, 5 ft. The source is estimated to be 40 percent surface water and 60 percent grot.md water except in those counties which are in the Mississippi River alluvial plain, locally referred to as the Delta, where the source is all ground water. ~,..,==4-/ -·~_T!..!E;.!N:,N::,e::,s;;s::_.;:.EE __ -:-"-·,--,--'i:---- J 1 6·.g~t l~!NTON I I,. . lCORN : .l..O..'l2 De SOTO L, 5136 1o.io7o t1 10.254 MA!tSHALL 610 TIPPAHL .. 0.7_42 ..

WATER-RESOURCES INVESTIGATIONS 76-125 OPEN - FILE REPORT

INIRODUCTI ON

Mississippi 1 s water is one of its most vital and important natural resources. Large quantities of good quality ground and surfac7 wa~er are readily available in nearly all section~ o~ tI_ie ~tate. "I1:1s situa­tion, ccxnbined with ample rainfall, makes Mississippi attractive to many industries and to agriculture. Regardless of the abundance of this natural resource, however, plarming for future developmen~ requires . knowledge of present use. It is for this purpose that this tabulation of water use in 1975 in Mississippi is presented.

1he information for this report has been collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Missis~iJ?Pi Board of.Water Conunissioners. Appreciation is expressed to officials of public and private utilities, industry, State, Federal, and local goveTIUilents who provided this data •

The tenn water use as presented here refers to withdrawals that may be from any source. After use some is :etu:71e~ to. the source _ and used again. The water use is cotmted each tlIIle 1t 1s w1th~rawn, but where water is recirculated, it is counted only once when withdrawn from the source •

Figure 1 and table 1 show water use by county and by source.

CRIIBRIA FOR DEIBRMINING USE

Municipal Supply

~hulicipal supplies, whether publicly or privately owned, include systems in cities, towns, and villages listed in Directdaory of Mis:is­sippi Municipalities. Sixty gallons (227 liter~) per y per capita was used in detennining domestic use where actual figures were not available.

Rural Systems

Rural systems include all private water companies, water associa­tions and other sources furnishing water to the public outside the citie~, towns, and villages. The source is grmmd wate: unless othe:­wise noted. Fifty gallons (190 liters) per day per capita was used in estimating use for tmmetered systems. The estimated population served is 3. 5 persons per water meter.

Rural Self-Supplied

Persons served by municipal and rural water systems were subtracted from the population total. 1he rema!,nder of the county popula~ion would be in the category, rural self-supplied. Fifty gallons (190 liters) per day per capita was the estimated use for families with indoor plumbing facilities. Ten gallons (38 liters) per day per capita was the estl.111ated use for families without plumbing facilities. Population with indoor plumbing facilities was detennined from the U.S. Census, 1970.

Water for livestock was calculated using Mississippi Agricultural Statistics, 1970, and applying the following factors:

Milk cows

Other cattle

Hogs

Chickens

Gross estimate: 40 percent of livestock water use is derived from grol.Illd-water sources and 60 percent is from surface-water sources. water used is conswned •

Fuel-Electric Power

All

Fuel-electric power was tabulated separately owing to the magnitude of usage and not included as part of the public supply.

Irrigation Requirements

Rice: 4.1 ft per acre (0.50 m/ha); 1975 application.

Others: 1.3 ft per acre (0.16 m/ha).

Although given in (Mgal/d)/yr, withdrawals are at a_much higher rate over a period of several months. The source 1s estimated to be 18 percent surface water and 82 percent grol.Uld water •

Catfish Farming

Water use is based on one and one-half times the capacity of the ponds; average depth of ponds, 5 ft. The source is estimated to be 40 percent surface water and 60 percent grot.md water except in those counties which are in the Mississippi River alluvial plain, locally referred to as the Delta, where the source is all ground water.
