Abstract

Water can be a scarce resource particularly in certain places at certain times Understanding both water use and conservation efforts can help ensure that limited supplies can meet the demands of a growing population and economy This paper examines water use and recirculation in the US manufacturing sector using newly recovered microdata from the Survey of Water Use in Manufacturing merged with establishmentlevel data from the Annual Survey of Manufactures and the Census of Manufactures Results suggest that water use per unit of output is largest for larger establishments in part because larger establishments use water for more purposes Larger establishments are also found to recirculate water more — satisfying demand water use without necessarily increasing water intake Various costs also appear to play a role in water recirculation In particular the water circulation rate is found to be higher when water is purchased from a utility Relatively low internal prices for selfsupplied water could suppress the incentive to invest in recirculation Meanwhile establishments with higher pergallon intake treatment costs also recirculate more as might be expected The cost associated with water discharge – due to regulation or otherwise – also increases circulation rates The aridity of a locale is found to have little effect on circulation ratesThis paper has benefited from helpful feedback on earlier versions including comments from Lucia Foster Joseph Shapiro and session participants at the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists AERE International Water Resource Economics Consortium IWREC and Comparative Analysis of Enterprise Data CAED conferences Any opinions and conclusions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the US Census Bureau All results have been reviewed to ensure that no confidential information is disclosed The author declares that he has no conflict of interest
