This dataset is primarily a model as described above. The "Read Me" tab of the spreadsheet provides description of the data sources used in the Objective Analyzer Tool and a general disclaimer. With the exception of the Dashboard tab, the other worksheets contain data and calculations on water use from other sectors based primarily on the corrected EAR data.

Data consistency and quality assurance checks were used to screen the data used in the DWR Urban Water Use Objective Analyzer, including: (1) Flagging unusual, outlier, or missing State Water Resource Control Board Electronic Annual Report (EAR) data for Public Drinking Water Systems; (2) Cross-checking flagged data with Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and/or American Community Survey (ACS) or Department of Finance (DOF) data; and (3) Filling in missing EAR data and correcting EAR data determined to be erroneous.

Data corrections are documented on the EAR Data worksheet, and the original and corrected data are stored side-by-side in the model. There is no data destruction. The DWR Urban Water Use Objective Analyzer may be used with uncorrected or corrected EAR data. Users are strongly advised to use the corrected EAR data. Using the uncorrected EAR data is not recommended and will produce unreliable results.
