  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Estimates of water use in North Dakota have been compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey every 5 years since 1950.&amp;nbsp; These estimates have been published in national summaries of water use (MacKichan, 1951, 1957; MacKichan and Kammerer, 1961; Murray, 1968; Murrary and Reeves, 1972, 1977; and Solley and others, 1983, 1987).&amp;nbsp; In this report, estimates of offstream water use for 1985 and trends in water use in 5-year increments from 1960 through 1985 are presented for the following categories of use:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Public supply&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Domestic and commercial&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Industrial and mining&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Thermoelectric power&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Agricultural (irrigation and nonirrigation)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</dc:description>
