Water Use in South Dakota
The U.S. Geological Survey collects and disseminates data on water use in South Dakota and the Nation through the National Water-Use Information Program. National water-use information, which includes water-use estimates for the State of South Dakota, has been published every five years since 1950. General water-use information and data used to compile national reports since 1985 are available from the National Water Use HomePage. Data are grouped by major water-use category such as irrigation or public-supply.
