Residential Land Use Raster Calculation All residential areas are in grey

Average Annual Precipitation (inches/year)

Average Annual Precipitation for Residential Areas

2000 Census # of people per square mile

Number of people per cell

Raster Calculation: Volume (ft^3) of water per year per person

Water Usage On average100 gallons of water is used per day per person (Nalco Handbook) which is about 5,000 cubic feet of water per person per year

Conclusion red cells are residential areas with < 5000 cubic feet/year- person of rainwater volume These red blocks are areas where rainwater catchment is not worth pursuing for all water needs. Red areas consist primarily of high density housing areas (e.g. dorms, apartments)
