Nevada Division of Water Resources measuring water levels in Nevada wells throughout March

CARSON CITY – This March, staff from the Nevada Division of Water Resources will be measuring the depth of groundwater in irrigation and stock water wells throughout various regions in the state.

This data collection is part of an annual effort to assess and monitor groundwater levels across Nevada. While some of the wells being measured are newer, others have been measured each year for over 30 years, providing extensive data on long-term changes in groundwater levels. The measurements collected through these annual “well runs” provide critical public information to help analyze trends and support groundwater management.

If you have any questions or need more information, contact Beau Parker, Supervisor III at bparker@water.nv.gov.
