wetland2-ga,
Thanks for getting back to me on this. I'm glad I was able to come up
with some useful information for you.
The list of the counties with industrial water use greater than 50 mgd
is below...there are 77 all together.
The source of the list is the USGS Water Use database for 2000 (which,
by the way, is being updated with 2005 data, though the USGS didn't
know when the new data would be publicly available).
The entire dataset is here:
http://water.usgs.gov/watuse/data/2000/index.html
Estimated Use of Water in the United States County-Level Data for 2000
The database download link for the entire US is at the bottom of the
page, and can be downloaded as an Excel spreadsheet.
The database does not include county names, but rather uses Census
Bureau FIPS codes. A full list of such codes are here:
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/fips/fips65/data/national.txt
FIPS 6-4 Information
Using the database and the FIPS 'translator', I was able to generate
the list of counties with the largest industrial water use. I
included population data as well, in case that's of any use to you.
Here 'tis:
