Conservation reports and plans

Conservation plays an important role in water resource management. Our Joint Water Conservation Plan describes our strategies for continued water efficiency and conservation in Southern Nevada.

The Water Authority 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. This study prompted the creation of the Water Smart Landscapes Rebate.

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.

Construction and water resource plans

To provide for accomplishment of capital endeavors that were not directly related to the goals of the Capital Improvements Program, the SNWA created a new capital plan called the Major Construction and Capital Plan.

Since 1991, we have developed and maintained a comprehensive Water Resource Plan to outline current and future water needs and resources.
