    The data the USGS reports is generally in million gallons per day (MGD), not total annual use - is that what shows up in when the app is run? Clarification of that would be helpful. Also, if you ever thought of updating this app, the data is broken out into many useful categories - groundwater use, surface water use, water used by agriculture, municipal use, etc. It might be interesting to look at the data on that level in the future.

Got something to say?
