Description
This EnviroAtlas dataset is a summary of the thermoelectric water consumption based on the December 2016 US Energy Information Administration (EIA) monthly electric generator inventory, a 2014 review of water consumption for electricity generation (Macknick et al.), and reported water consumption estimates from a 2009 Department of Energy (DOE) report. The file contains total water withdrawal and consumption in gallons per year by 12-digit hydrologic unit codes (HUC_12s) from the boundary file named NHDPlusV2_WBDSnapshot_EnviroAtlas_CONUS. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.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).
