The Nevada Division of Water Resources (NDWR) will begin conducting a crop inventory in the White River Valley (Hydrographic Basin 207) starting October 13, 2025, and continuing annually each fall.
As part of this effort, NDWR staff will inspect permitted points of diversion and places of use of irrigation water rights to document crop types and determine annual water usage.
The purpose of the crop inventory is to:
- Accurately measure groundwater pumping in the basin.
- Support the long-term management of limited water resources.
- Ensure decisions are based on the best available science and consistent with State law.
NDWR staff will be working in the field throughout the season, and the Division appreciates the cooperation of water right holders and landowners during these inspections.
If you have any questions, please contact NDWR at (775) 684-2800.
