The U.S. Geological Survey compiles National water-use estimates every five years. The most recent compilation was for year 2005. The data includes water withdrawn from surface- and ground-water sources and used for various categories of water use. Fresh (non-saline) water-use estimates for Glynn County are presented below. Data are reported in million of gallons per day (Mgal/d).

Total freshwater use: 56.21 Mgal/d Consumptive water use is the part of water withdrawn that is evaporated, transpired, incorporated into products or crops, consumed by humans or livestock, or otherwise removed from the immediate water environment.
