  1. Demand factors are based on average use in the basin, which are reported as gallons per capita per day (gpcpd). Use is calculated in gallons per day (gpd).
  2. Combined the data for municipal and domestic uses. Number is from percentage of total water use.
  3. Surface water data are"depletions" instead of "uses" like the other basins. Also includes 12.9 mgd for City of Cheyenne, which may or may not be the same as 13 mgd in the Platte Basin total.
  4. Includes 13 mgd for City of Cheyenne, which may be duplicated in Green River Basin. Also the only basin plan to report conjunctive uses.
