StateCU software is used to estimate historical consumptive use based on user input data such as water supply, cropping, and climate data.

- Relies on user input data such as climate, diversions, irrigated area, cropping patterns, and irrigation efficiency
- Data can be input directly into the software or can be processed by the StateDMI and TSTool software
