    • Table 1. Total water withdrawals by category in Florida, 2015

    Metadata Updated: January 20, 2026

    In 2015, the total amount of water withdrawn in Florida was estimated at 15,319 million gallons per day (Mgal/d). This includes 9,598 Mgal/d of saline water and 5,721 Mgal/d of fresh water. Water for public supply accounted for the majority of fresh water withdrawn (2,215 Mgal/d) followed closely by agricultural self-supplied (2,089 Mgal/d) for 2015. The remaining fresh water was withdrawn for power generation (434 Mgal/d), commercial-industrial-mining self-supplied (409 Mgal/d), recreational-landscape irrigation (397 Mgal/d), and domestic self-supplied (177 Mgal/d). Water withdrawn for power generation accounted for the majority of saline water withdrawn (9,425 Mgal/d) for 2015, followed by public supply (170 Mgal/d), and commercial-industrial-mining self-supplied (3 Mgal/d). All of the saline water withdrawn for public supply is treated through a desalinization process or is diluted with fresh water to meet current drinking water standards.
