A series of measures envisioned for metro Las Vegas to reduce water consumption would bar new resort hotels from including water features in their designs.
Across the region, dry riverbeds mark the landscape and formerly productive farmland lies fallow because of inadequate irrigation.
Southern Nevada’s water use declined 26% between 2002 and 2021 despite 750,000 new residents and nearly 40 million annual visitors, according to the water district. In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned front-yard lawns, and this year any grass, including in backyards, was prohibited. Golf courses in southern Nevada, currently limited to 6.3 acre-feet of water per irrigated acre annually, would be reduced to 4 acre-feet under the water district's proposal.
