The relationship between economic activity in a regional economy and water intake and consumptive use requirements is investigated by using the Leontief model. Estimates of direct and indirect water requirements for the regional economy are developed and are applied to three distinct planning questions: estimated aggregate water use in the regional economy, estimated sector by sector water requirements in response to total projected changes in final demands, and estimated changes in water requirements in the regional economy given a change in a single sector's deliveries to final demand.
