A.5 #1-3 on p. 17

1.
The East: 78% Steam/Electric purposes
The West: 77% Irrigation/agricultural
The South: 63% Steam/Electric
The Midwest: 57% Steam/Electric
Alaska: 55% Mining
Hawaii: 57% Irrigation/agricultural
2. In the East, water is mostly used for Steam/electric purposes and in the West water is mostly used for Irrigation/agriculture. In the East, it is not mostly used for crops because it is not as hot as in the West, and there is more natural rain which keeps the crops thriving without much help from irrigation. In the West, it is the opposite and much assistance is needed so that the plans survive in the hot conditions.
3. In the West it is dry and does not rain as much as it does in the East, Midwest, or the South. In the East, since rain is frequent, water is applied towards more innovative and technological needs such as Steam/Electric. In the Midwest, water is also very commonly used for agriculture as it is for electric because it is in the middle of America, therefore is a mix of the weather.
