| A dairy cow can drink 20 gallons of water in a day, but only half is used consumptively in milk production. |
|
| Every gallon of water consumptively used is not available somewhere else in the system where it would otherwise have existed. |
|
| And more people and businesses are drawing that water out consumptively, especially during the hot months. |
|
| This water is not consumptively used because it simply passes through on its journey to the Gulf of California. |
|
| It is the amount of water that is permanently extracted from the aquifer and consumptively used that is of significance. |
|
| This is the amount of water consumptively used for the food supplied in society. |
|
| If Water is also consumed in the Basin, the data must include the amount of Water consumptively used within Basin. |
|
| Most importantly from a sustainability perspective, Idaho fish farms do not consumptively use water for fish production. |
|
| Globally, it is estimated that agriculture uses 66 percent of all water withdrawals and 86 percent of the water that is consumptively used. |
|
| For in-Basin Withdrawals, the data must include how much Water is withdrawn, and how much Water is consumptively used and not returned to the Basin. |
|
| But put a sensitive, suffering young girl into the bed, a girl consumptively beautiful with a blue-white skin turning yellow in the blue shadows — and her hands! |
