Aquaculture water-use withdrawal estimates for 2013, 2018, and 2023 by state and year for the United States, excluding territories
This data release provides state-level estimates of aquaculture water-use withdrawals for the United States for the 2013, 2018, and 2023 Census of Aquaculture reference years. Estimates were developed by processing approved U.S. Department of Agriculture - National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA NASS), data within the USDA NASS Data Lab secure enclave and aggregating outputs at the state level in accordance with USDA NASS disclosure rules. The estimation approach is based on a method defined by Lovelace (2009) for estimating withdrawals for aquaculture that has been updated by using facility-level attributes (enclosure type, area, replacement rates, and production indicators) harmonized across census reference years. Results are reported in million gallons per day (Mgal/d) for total water use and, where available, by water type (groundwater or surface water). Significant-digits rules were applied to all published aggregates. These water-use withdrawal estimates for aquaculture can be used to assess aquaculture water demand spatially and temporally and to support USGS water-use analyses and planning.
