Machine learning model that estimates total monthly and annual per capita public-supply water use (version 2.0)

This child item describes a machine learning model that was developed to estimate public-supply water use by water service area (WSA) boundary and 12-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC12) for the conterminous United States. This model was used to develop an annual and monthly reanalysis of public supply water use for the period 2000-2020. This data release contains model input feature datasets, python codes used to develop and train the water use machine learning model, and output water use predictions by HUC12 and WSA. Public supply water use estimates and statistics files for HUC12s are available on this child item landing page. Public supply water use estimates and statistics for WSAs are available in public_water_use_model.zip. This page includes the following files: PS_HUC12_Tot_2000_2020.csv - a csv file with estimated monthly public supply total water use from 2000-2020 by HUC12, in million gallons per day PS_HUC12_GW_2000_2020.csv - a csv file with estimated monthly public supply groundwater use for 2000-2020 by HUC12, in million gallons per day PS_HUC12_SW_2000_2020.csv - a csv file with estimated monthly public supply surface water use for 2000-2020 by HUC12, in million gallons per day Note: 1) Groundwater and surface water fractions were determined using source counts as described in the 'R code that determines groundwater and surface water source fractions for public-supply water service areas, counties, and 12-digit hydrologic units' child item. 2) Some HUC12s have estimated water use of zero because no public-supply water service areas were modeled within the HUC. STAT_PS_HUC12_Tot_2000_2020.csv - a csv file with statistics by HUC12 for the estimated monthly public supply total water use from 2000-2020 STAT_PS_HUC12_GW_2000_2020.csv - a csv file with statistics by HUC12 for the estimated monthly public supply groundwater use for 2000-2020 STAT_PS_HUC12_SW_2000_2020.csv - a csv file with statistics by HUC12 for the estimated monthly public supply surface water use for 2000-2020 public_water_use_model.zip - a zip file containing input datasets, scripts, and output datasets for the public supply water use machine learning model version_history_MLmodel.txt - a txt file describing changes in this version
