Residential Water Usage At home, each person uses about gallons of water a day.

Commercial Water Usage Public supply is 11% of water usage. Domestic is less than 1%. Irrigation is 34%. Industrial is 5%. Mining is less than 1%. Thermoelectric Power is 48%. Livestock is less than 1%. Aquaculture is less than 1%.

Agricultural Water Usage Agricultural is a major user of ground and surface water in the US, accounting for 80% of our country's water use, and over 90% in the western US. 16% of crops in the US are irrigated, that acreage generates almost 50% of the value of crops sold. Efficient and managable irrigation systems can increase farm profitably and help direct that saved resource to others. CA, Texas, and Oklahoma combined for 2\3 of surface water for livestock and agriculture Areas of major water usage for livestock are relative to areas where corn, hay, and alfalfa are grown. For example: Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska produce the most hay therefore feed the majority of farms producing cattle.
