Water use estimates for 2017 for the United States part of the Salish Sea basin, northwestern Washington
This data release contains vector shapefiles of gridded, monthly water use estimates for the United States part of the Salish Sea basin in northwestern Washington for the year 2017. The water use estimates are provided by category of use for public supply, domestic self-supply, agriculture, and aquaculture each and are further distinguished by surface water or groundwater sources.
