Water-Use Quick Facts, 2000

• Nearly 90 percent of the 16 million residents of Florida obtained their drinking water from public supply water systems; 13 million of these residents relied on ground water as their primary source of drinking water.
  

• Nearly 4 billion gallons per day in 2000 was used to irrigate 1.9 million acres of Florida agricultural farmland, with citrus and sugarcane accounting for 2.8 billion gallons per day of the water used.
