Electric Power Generation <br /> <br />The 1970 water depletion by steam-electric ~eneration plants is <br /> <br />about 6,000 acre-feet.

Recreation and Fish-wildlife <br /> <br />The amount of water consumed for recreation is not of major <br /> <br />significance. Most is used at associated service facilities.
