Table 1. Relation between ground-water pumpage categories and water-right purpose of use codes in Washington State Department of Ecology’s Water Rights Tracking System.
[x, denotes principal use; o, denotes secondary use; –, none. Ground-water pumpage categories:Public Water Supply includes some wells without rights that are public water supply. Domestic primarily includes domestic pumpage from exempt wells. Irrigation does not include irrigation pumpage for rights associated with public water supply and pumpage for claims. Livestock includes pumpage estimates for 19 small dairies that withdraw water under an exempt status. Fish and wildlife includes two wells used for fish propagation (hatchery). Water-right purpose of use codes: CI, Commercial and Industrial Manufacturing; CO, industrial cooling; DG, Domestic General; DM, Domestic Multiple; DS, Domestic Single; DY, Dairy; EN, Environmental Quality; FP, Frost Protection; FR, Fire Protection; FS, Fish Propagation; HE, Heat Exchange; IR, Irrigation; MU, Domestic Municipal; RE, Recreation and Beautification; RW, Railway; ST, Stock Watering; WL, Wildlife Propagation (see Appendix for further definitions of codes)]
