Read about Nevada’s accomplishments during 2024 in the CRWUA Annual Report.
Here’s an excerpt:
Nevadans demonstrated their ongoing resilience and commitment to conservation, saving more than 5 billion gallons of water over the last year compared to the previous three-year consumptive average. Southern Nevada ultimately used less than our Colorado River annual allocation, even as a federally declared Tier 1 shortage remained in effect throughout 2024 and continues into 2025. Increased temperatures and decreased runoff along the Colorado River Basin present the most significant environmental factors affecting our region. With uncertainty surrounding climate change and the availability of future water resources, the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) enhanced its world-renowned conservation programming to further drive down current water use as well as shepherd future sustainability for our region. From increased incentives to new offerings to help boost local tree canopy coverage to program changes that streamline the application process, the SNWA continues to partner with the community on its conservation journey.
