AROUND
OHIO
BY George L, Zeis

The column last week apparent
ly caused considerable comment.
It was, as you may recall, dealing
with the water laws in Ohio.
ss A number of people were in
terested not only in the water
laws but about our water sup
plies.
Tt might be well to give few
figures to show just how much
water is being used in certain
industries. To put it plainly, thirst
of industries is enormous. More
water is used by industry than by
our populations individual needs.
The largest user of water is
the steel industry. Based on the
present rate of steel production,
the water requirements for this
one industry alone is nearly seven
triliion gallons annually. Ten per-
cent of the steel produced in the
nation is done in Ohio.
Let's consider another factor so
far as water usage is concerned.
Approximately 90 percent of the
state is wired" for electricity.
The conversion of coal into elect
ric power required so gallon per
kilowatt-hour produced
This production of electricity in
Ohio in 1949 required the use of
1,840 billion gallons of water. Or,
to put it in more understandable
terms, more than twice of the
annual flow of the Muskingum
River, the largest river in Ohio.
These are but a few examples to
illustrate the tremendous amount
of water consumed. 1t is small
wonder, therefore, that so many
people are asking: Where are
we going to get enough-or are
we going to have enough?"
AS droughtS go, the one we
have had in Ohio this year has
not been as bad as ones in past
years. Some of the old timers
may remember the years of 1894
and 1908. Another extremely dry
year was 1886. The fastest in
Ohio occurred in 1941.
Undoubtedly there will be re-
peats of droughtS and heat such
as we have gone through this
summer.
But what brought this last one
about, you ask? 1t has been
building up for the past several
years. Although rainfall in this
state is fairly even month by
month, the ground reservoirs are
re-charged mostly during t h e
winter months. Light snowfalls
this past winter and smaller
amounts of rainfall was not
enough to replenish the ground
water systems. ....
Spring and summer rains are
not of much value so far as re-
charging is concerned. Grass,
plants, trees and other growing
Vegetation keep the water from
seeping down a1 the earth. There
is also considerable evaporation
taking place during the warm
periods of the spring and sum-
ner months.
1t is very likely that demands
for water will be greater in the
future than they are at the pres
ent time. Droughts will occur, as
they have this summer, unless
there is sufficient moisture fall
in the form of snow or rain
during the winter months. That
is a seasonal problem which no
one can predict. Water both in
streams and underground is dy-
manic and renewable.
Unfortunately, however, much
of our water does not have fair
chance to seep into the ground.
Either there is feast or famine.
There is no doubt in the minds
of the water experts but what
there is sufficient to meet our
needs in the forseeable future,
but it will have to be controlled.
It cannot be allowed to run off
as flood water.

The evening was highlighted by
