Estimating Domestic Self-Supplied Water Use in Rhode Island, 2014–21

by Catherine A. Chamberlin, Ian P. Armstrong and Timothy J. Stagnitta

About this book

This USGS study estimates water withdrawn by households using their own wells in Rhode Island. It combines population information, public-water-system boundaries and water-use coefficients to examine domestic self-supply during 2014–21.

Maps and tables show how estimated populations and withdrawals vary by municipality, watershed and season. The authors explain the construction of the datasets, compare reported and recalculated values and discuss the limits of the resulting estimates. The complete 2024 report preserves its maps, methods, results and references.
