curb water use.

Local city and county governments have adopted conservation measures to help curb water use in Southern Nevada. This information provides a general description of the various water restrictions.

The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) Board of Directors established a conservation goal of 199 gallons per capita per day (GPCD) by 2035.

Since 2002 when the drought response plan was first developed, Southern Nevada has reduced its GPCD demand 29 percent from 314 GPCD to 222 GPCD in 2011. While this reduction in water use can be attributed to community conservation efforts, recent economic conditions also may be a factor in the GPCD reduction.

These measures have been implemented by the SNWA member agencies to help the community reach the goal of 199 GPCD.
