The water-use data-gap analysis includes examining the important regional uses of water, how those uses are spatially distributed across the region, the availability of and level of uncertainty in historical data, the triggers behind water-use decisions, and the suitability of existing data to meet modeling and water-management needs.

The datasets in this data release contain the results of an analysis of the U.S. Geological Survey's historical water-use data from 1985 to 2015. Data were assessed to determine the top category of water-use by volume. Data from groundwater, surface water, and total water (groundwater plus surface water) use were parsed by water type, and the top category of use by county or the geographic region
