Uses of water within the stream channel, e.g., fish and other aquatic life, recreation, navigation, and hydroelectric power production.
water that is used, but not withdrawn, from a ground- or surface-water source for such purposes as hydroelectric power generation, navigation, water-quality improvement, fish propagation, and recreation. Sometimes called nonwithdrawal use or in-channel use.
The use of water for industrial purposes such as fabrication, processing, washing and cooling. The water may be obtained from a public supply or may be self supplied.
water that is used, but not withdrawn, from a surface-water source for such purposes as hydroelectric-power generation, navigation, water-quality improvement, fish propagation, and recreation. Instream water-use estimates for hydroelectric power were included in previous water-use Circulars but were omitted for 2000.
water in the river and streams for the maintenance of aquatic ecosystems and for aesthetic and recreational purposes.
Water use taking place within a stream channel; e.g., hydro-electric power generation, navigation, water quality improvement, fish propagation, recreation.
Use of water that does not require withdrawal or diversion from its natural watercourse; for example, the use of water for navigation, recreation, and support of fish and wildlife.
Any use of water which does not require diversion from a water course or impoundment.
