Reports & Plans
The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) produces a number of reports and plans to keep the community informed.
Annual Report
The SNWA Annual Report highlights the Southern Nevada Water Authority's major projects and accomplishments for the previous year.
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
The SNWA Comprehensive Annual Financial Report provides a comprehensive look at our financial statements, accomplishments and forecasts.
Conservation Plan
Conservation plays an important role in water resource management. SNWA revised its five-year Conservation Plan in 2009 to help the agency effectively manage its water resources.
Integrated Water Planning Advisory Committee Recommendations Report
The SNWA Board of Directors established the Integrated Water Planning Advisory Committee (IWPAC) in June 2004 to develop recommendations concerning the integration of in-state water resources into the water planning and management activities of Southern Nevada. The committee finalized its Recommendations Report on Sept. 26, 2005.
Major Construction and Capital Plan
As the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) began to reach its goals, SNWA recognized that a new capital plan was needed that would provide for accomplishment of capital endeavors that were not directly related to the goals of the CIP.
To identify and authorize these endeavors, in 2002, SNWA created a new capital plan called the Major Construction and Capital Plan (MCCP).
Sustainability Report
The Sustainability Report details the efforts we're making to reduce our environmental impacts, and it serves as a guide to working in a more environmentally conscious way.
Water Quality Reports
The Water Authority prepares an annual Water Quality Report for the Southern Nevada Water System, which treats the SNWA water supply. It also provides a full water analysis for its two water treatment facilities and a source water assessment.
Water Resource Plan
Since 1991, the Southern Nevada Water Authority has developed and maintained a comprehensive Water Resource Plan to outline current and future water needs and resources.
Xeriscape Conversion Study
SNWA and the Bureau of Reclamation funded a comprehensive Xeriscape Conversion Study to research the amount of water saved by property owners who removed grass and replaced it with water-efficient xeriscape. The Xeriscape Conversion Study began in 1995, and the final report was released in 2005.
The final Xeriscape Conversion Study results show on average you can save 55 gallons of water per square foot by converting grass to a water smart landscape. Even a densely-planted xeriscape saves enormous volumes of water. The study covers typical water savings, cost-effectiveness of conversion projects and residential landscape water use.
