<br />. ...- . <br />0'0'03'7 ~ <br /> <br />The number of people considered as rural domestic water users is <br />expected to drop from about 424,000 in 1960 to a low of about 315,000 <br />in 2000. The w~ter required for rural domestic purposes is expected to <br />be about 35,000 acre-feet annually during the planning period, over 25 <br />percent more than present use. The increase is all due to the estimated <br />increase in per capita requirement. The estimated water requirement <br />by basin for the planning years is shown in Table 12. The Increase In <br />rural domestic water requirement between 2000 and 2020 is due to the <br />projected increase in rural non-farm population near major cities. <br /> <br /> TABLE 12 <br /> PROJ ECTED RURAL DOMESTIC WATER REQUIREMENTS <br /> Water Requirements in AF/Yr <br />River Basi n 1980 2000 2020 <br />White River-Hat Creek 350 300 300 <br />Niobrara 2,300 1,900 1,800 <br />Missouri Tr i butarl es 2,000 1,800 1,800 <br />North Platte 3,400 3,000 3,300 <br />South Platte 1,450 1,300 1,300 <br />Middle Platte 4,100 4,200 4,800 <br />Loup 4,700 4,000 3,800 <br />E I khorn 4,600 4,300 4,800 <br />Lower Platte 4,000 3,700 4,400 <br />Repub I i can 2,700 1,900 1,800 <br />Little Blue 2,400 2,300 2,400 <br />Big BI ue 3,800 4,000 4,100 <br />Nemaha 1,900 1,800 2,000 <br />STATE TOTAL 37,700 34,500 36,600 <br /> <br />28 <br />
