• Sommario/riassunto: "This report summarizes estimated fresh and saline groundwater withdrawals during 2015 from principal aquifers in the United States for various categories of use, which include public supply, self-supplied domestic, industrial, mining, thermoelectric power, irrigation, livestock, and aquaculture. Saline withdrawals from principal aquifers are estimated for public-supply, industrial, thermoelectric-power, and mining uses in each State. Estimated withdrawals from 66 principal aquifers or aquifer systems are tabulated by major lithologic group, State, and category of use. Estimated withdrawals from "other" aquifers that are not part of a principal aquifer also are tabulated. Withdrawals from 10 selected principal aquifers that together accounted for more ; than 72 percent of the groundwater withdrawals in the United States in 2015 also are discussed. In addition, estimated fresh groundwater withdrawals from principal aquifers for public supply, industry, and irrigation during 2000 and 2015 are compared and discussed"--
