Annotated Bibliography of Water-Use Data, I960

By Lois E. Randall

INTRODUCTION

During the last few years there has been a 

growing concern as to how much longer our 

water resources can meet adequately the 

growing demands for water. In evaluating the 

relation between dependable supply and demand, it is necessary to know as much as 

possible about the quantity and quality of water available by areas, how much water is 

being used, how and where it is used, the 

quality of water used, and the quality of water 

required by the various users. Therefore, 

this annotated bibliography has been prepared 

to aid in evaluating this relation between supply and demand.

Except for some general references at the 

beginning of the bibliography, the references 

are grouped by State and, within the State, by 

author. Where several reports are by the 

same author, the references to these reports 

are listed chronologically.

Many reports were intentionally omitted 

from this bibliography because they were not 

prepared in sufficient quantity to be readily 

available to the public, or they did not contain 

a significant amount of data on quantities of 

water used. In general, only reports published since 1955 are included.

The material for this bibliography was 

collected in connection with the preparation 

of a 1960 water-use inventory by MacKichan 

and Kammerer (1961).

The field offices of the Water Resources 

Division suggested many of the references 

and furnished annotations for a few of them.
