Domestic water use, as defined in this case, is intended to represent residential indoor and outdoor water use (e.g., cooking, hygiene, landscaping, pools, etc.) for primary residences (i.e., excluding second homes and tourism rentals). Water use estimates in this EnviroAtlas-defined study area range from 84 to 110 GPD. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (http://enviroatlas.epa.gov/EnviroAtlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets). Domestic water use per census block group is being provided as a water demand metric for water resource planners and general public interest. The overall goal of EnviroAtlas is to employ and develop the best available science to map indicators of ecosystem services production, demand, and drivers for the nation. completed EnviroAtlas Coordinator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Research and Development - Center for Public Health and Environmental Assessment (CPHEA), EnviroAtlas Geospatial Data Owner (919) 541-3832 109 T.W.

This lineage was generated by the FGDC CSDGM to 19139 transformation 1. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) estimates for domestic water use in the EnviroAtlas-defined study area ranged between 84 and 110 GPD. 2015-05-26T00:00:00 2. ArcGIS 10.2.1 was used for spatial application and analysis. In Seattle's case, GPDs were applied at a county level. No further spatial allocation analysis was needed. Added a GPD field to the EnviroAtlas study area layer. Used the Field Calculator to apply the GPDs by block group. 2015-05-26T00:00:00 3. Rasterized the GPD assignment (30m cells, snapped to the dasymetric raster). 2015-05-26T00:00:00 4. Distributed and weighted the water use according to population by multiplying the rasterized GPD by the dasymetric data with the Raster Calculator. 2015-05-26T00:00:00 5. Summarized the dasymetrically distributed values by block group using Zonal Statistics as Table. Divided the results to thousands of gallons per day for display. 2015-05-26T00:00:00 6. The final EnviroAtlas study area only includes Tacoma; block groups outside of the study area were removed. 2022-07-31T00:00:00 unknown 2029-02-13 This metadata was automatically generated from the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata standard (version FGDC-STD-001-1998) using the 2024-02-09T11:11:00 version of the FGDC CSDGM to ISO 19139 transform.
