recently, few attempts were made to estimate the total quantity of water withdrawn for use in the United States. Some investigators made inventories or estimates of water used by a single industry. The US Public Health Service {1, 2), in cooperation with the sanitary engineering divisions of the state health departments, made inventories of public water supply facilities in 1945 and 1954 which included data on the quantity of water used. The US Bureau of the Census (3) made a survey of water used by the manufacturing industries in 1953, as part of its annual survey of manufactures. Picton (4, 5) made estimates of water used in the United States from 1900 to 1950 and 1955, and forecast estimates of future use. Guy ton (d) made an estimate of ground water used in the United States during 1945, and Langbein (7) made an estimate of the quantity of water used in the United States in 1946 for the generation of hydroelectric power. An inventory by Mangan and Graham (8) showed the quantity of water used in Pennsylvania in 1951. MacKichan (9) also made an estimate of the quantity of water used in each of the 48 states during 1950 for five major uses rural, public supplies, industry, irrigation, and waterpower to which the present inventory is similar in objective and scope.
