This child item describes Python code used to query census data from the TigerWeb Representational State Transfer (REST) services and the U.S. Census Bureau Application Programming Interface (API). These data were needed as input feature variables for a machine learning model to predict public supply water use for the conterminous United States. Census data were retrieved for public-supply water service areas, but the census data collector could be used to retrieve data for other areas of interest. This dataset is part of a larger data release using machine learning to predict public supply water use for 12-digit hydrologic units from 2000-2020. Data retrieved by the census data collector code were used as input features in the public supply delivery and water use machine learning models. This page includes the following file: census_data_collector.zip - a zip file containing the census data collector Python code used to retrieve data from the U.S. Census Bureau and a README file.

This child item describes Python code used to estimate average yearly and monthly tourism per 1000 residents within public-supply water service areas. Increases in population due to tourism may impact amounts of water used by public-supply water systems. This data release contains model input datasets, Python code used to develop the tourism information, and output estimates of tourism. This dataset is part of a larger data release using machine learning to predict public supply water use for 12-digit hydrologic units from 2000-2020. Output from this code was used as an input feature in the public supply delivery and water use machine learning models. This page includes the following files: tourism_input_data.zip - a zip file containing input data sets used by the tourism Python code tourism_output.zip - a zip file with output produced by the tourism Python code README.txt - a README file describing the data files and code requirements tourism_study_code.zip - a zip file containing the Python code used to create the tourism feature variable

This child item describes R code used to determine public supply consumptive use estimates. Consumptive use was estimated by scaling an assumed fraction of deliveries used for outdoor irrigation by spatially explicit estimates of evaporative demand using estimated domestic and commercial, industrial, and institutional deliveries from the public supply delivery machine learning model child item. This method scales public supply water service area outdoor water use by the relationship between service area gross reference evapotranspiration provided by GridMET and annual continental U.S. (CONUS) growing season maximum evapotranspiration. This relationship to climate at the CONUS scale could result in over- or under-estimation of consumptive use at public supply service areas where local variations differ from national variations in climate. This method also assumes that 50% of deliveries for total domestic and commercial, industrial, and institutional deliveries is used for outdoor purposes. This dataset is part of a larger data release using machine learning to predict public supply water use for 12-digit hydrologic units from 2000-2020.
