2016 South Central Texas Regional Water Plan
Volume I
2.7 Livestock Water Demand Projections
In the South Central Texas Region in 2012, livestock production was valued at
approximately $1.1 billion, which was 1.9 times the value of crops produced in the region
during that year. There were reported to be approximately 867,500 million head of cattle
and calves, 95 million chickens, 38,300 head of sheep and lambs, and about 8,500 hogs
and pigs in Region L livestock production in 2012. Although livestock production is an
important component of the regional economy, the industry consumes a relatively small
amount of water. In 2020, it is projected that water use in the South Central Texas
Region for livestock purposes will be 24,038 acft/yr (Figure 2-4 and Table 2-7). It is
projected that water used for livestock purposes will remain constant throughout the
planning period (Figure 2-4 and Table 2-7).
2.8 Total Water Demand Projections
Total water demand projections for the South Central Texas Region are the sum of water
demand projections for municipal, manufacturing, steam-electric power generation,
mining, irrigation, and livestock water use sectors (Table 2-2 through Table 2-7) and are
summarized in Table 2-8 and Figure 2-5. Total Region L water demands are projected to
be 1,070,354 acft/yr in 2020, 1,219,229 acft/yr in 2040, and 1,433,835 acft/yr in 2070
(Table 2-8 and Figure 2-5).
The use sector compositions of projected water demands in Region L are summarized at
years 2020, 2040, and 2070 in Table 2-9. As shown in Table 2-9, municipal,
manufacturing, and steam-electric percentages of total water demands are expected
increase while irrigation, mining, and livestock percentages are expected to increase
during the planning period.
