<br />001085 <br /> <br />Dr aft - 9/ 8 1 <br /> <br />of treated water which is consumed is, as in other sectors, less <br /> <br />than the amount supplied. Nationwide, industrial consumption <br /> <br />amounts to only about 7.7 percent of industrial wlthdrawals (cal- <br /> <br />culated from Milliken et aI, 1975, p. V-11). It is clear that <br /> <br />7.7 percent of the 4 percent withdrawn by industry is inconse- <br /> <br />quential. The formula is as follows: <br /> <br />(ZOO gcd) <br />(assumed <br />total <br />withdrawals) <br /> <br />x ( .077) x <br />(historic <br />% of total <br />withdrawal) <br /> <br />(.04) = <br />(historic <br />% of total <br />withdrawal) <br /> <br />0.6 gcd <br /> <br />For thIs reas~, and because it is safe to assume that most fu- <br /> <br />ture industrial enterprises will develop their own sources of raw <br /> <br />water supply, this study concludes that the amount of additional <br /> <br />municipal treated water which Colorado industry will consume in <br /> <br />the future will be negligible. <br /> <br />, <br />, <br />~ <br /> <br />Indoor Use and Cansumption <br /> <br />Indoor use includes water used for toilet flushing, washing <br /> <br />and bathing, drinking, cooking, kitchen use, laundering, etc. <br /> <br />The amount used for each category will vary based on regional, <br /> <br />cultural and economic factors (Milliken et aI, 1975, p. V-2Z); <br /> <br />Table Z shows the proportion used in these categories according <br /> <br />to three separate studies. Whether the use occurs in private <br /> <br />homes or cummercial establlshments is irrelevant for our pur- <br /> <br />po se s . <br /> <br />4 <br />
