• Title: RGDSS - Rio Grande Other ‎(non-agricultural)‎ Consumptive Use Summary
• Description: This memorandum describes the approach and results obtained for the development of other ‎(non-agricultural)‎ use estimates as part of preparing a Consumptive Uses and Losses Summary ‎(CU and Losses Summary)‎.

Consumptive use for fish and wildlife purposes within each county were added and input
to StateCU.
Recreati anal
Recreational uses are generally considered non-consumptive. Any recreational
consumptive uses in the Rio Grande basin are included in other categories.
Summary and Conclusions
This Procedure Manual describes the data and process used to estimate the following
non-agricultural consumptive uses for the CU and Losses Summary:
• Livestock Consumptive Use
• Reservoir and Stockpond Evaporation
• Municipal Consumptive Use
• Mineral Resources Use
• Thermal-electric Power Generation Use
• Exports
• Fish and Wildlife
• Recreational
The annual other (non-agricultural) consumptive use results are summarized for the Rio
Grande Basin in Table 16. On average, the Reservoir and Stockpond category accounts
for 45% of the total other consumptive use, followed by Fish and Wildlife Use at 40%,
Municipal Use at 9%, Livestock at 3%, Export at 2% and Mineral at 1%. Monthly and
annual non-agricultural use summaries are shown in Table 17 at the end of this
memorandum. Figure 1, also at the end of this memorandum, shows the annual non-
agricultural use summary for the Rio Grande basin. Detailed output summaries by
county, as well as detailed input summaries, can be viewed from the StateCU Graphical
User Interface.
