Tradeoffs between regional economic development and resource use is a question often confronting local decisionmakers. A resource‐interindustry model can be used to depict the interrelationships between regional economic sectors as to household income and/or employment and resource use. A resource‐interindustry model was developed for Humboldt and Lander Counties in Nevada which shows the tradeoffs between regional household income (wages, salaries, profits, and rents) and/or employment and water usage. Water income and water employment multipliers can be ranked, enabling decisionmakers to realize sectors which require greatest regional water usage to regional household income and/or employment.
