Data and Knowledge Gaps of a Water Bottling Facility Inventory and Select Water-Use Dataset, United States

by Carol L. Luukkonen, Cheryl A. Buchwald, Gary R. Martin

About this book

This USGS study examines what can be established about water-bottling facilities and their water use in the United States. It documents the construction of an inventory and selected datasets while identifying the gaps that limit a consistent national account.

The report distinguishes the information available from different sources, describes the difficulties of locating and characterizing facilities and considers how water-use records can be compared. Tables, maps and methodological discussion accompany the analysis. This complete 2024 publication preserves the original findings, source credits and supporting references.
