Answer to Question 1

Other factors that may infl uence state water use include the number and types of
industries, mineral resources, power needs, agricultural activity, climate, and the
amount of water available.

Answer to Question 2

For these states, population size is a better indicator of water use than area. Their area
rank is much more variable than their population rank.
