Water Use Data Storage and Availability Water use database Monthly and annual withdrawal data are reported to the state agency and stored in an electronic format. Withdrawal data are entered electronically into a database. Automatic QA/QC checks are integrated into the electronic database and/or data entry routines. Withdrawal data include water source, water type and location (county and HUC-12). Data are made available for export by the state agency or for download.
