5. Energy Sources Residents of Danville, CA, get their power from Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). PG&E gets their energy from multiple sources, including hydroelectric, nuclear, fossil fuels, and solar. Hydroelectric power comes from large amounts of fast running water. The total output of hydroelectric power is 1,212 MW. Nuclear power, which is power produced from controlled nuclear reactions, had a total output of 2,240 MW. Fossil Fuels (natural gas/fuel oil), had a total output of 660 MW. Solar energy, or energy from the sun, had an output of 500 MW.

6. Residential Water Usage At home, each person uses about 80-100 gallons of water a day.

7. 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%.

8. 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.

9. Water Sources Here in Contra Costa County, we get our water from Contra Costa Water District (CCWD). CCWD serves 550,000 people in the county. All of CCWD's water comes from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The water goes through 6 water treatment plants before being used.

10. Comparison in Water usage The average person uses around 80 to 100 gallons of water a day The average american uses 171 gallons a day The average californian uses 192 gallons a day
