During 1961, about 200 billion gallons (614,000 acre-feet) of water was pumped in southwestern Louisiana from the Chicot aquifer. Of this amount, 65 percent was used for irrigation, 25 percent for industrial, 6 percent for municipal, and 4 percent for rural supplies. About 15 percent of all ground water pumped in southwestern Louisiana during 1961 was pumped in the Lake Charles area.
