All wells drilled in Nevada for the development of water must be drilled by a licensed well driller. The Division of Water Resources oversees the licensing of water well drillers, ensuring compliance with statutes and regulations. Also, as part of its regulatory framework, the Division establishes standards for constructing and plugging wells and maintains comprehensive databases that include information about all licensed well drillers and records of well drilling activities across the state. This centralized repository serves as a vital resource for monitoring and regulating well drilling activities in Nevada, promoting accountability, and safeguarding the integrity of water resources.
Well Drilling Management System
The Well Drilling Management System offers an online platform for licensed drillers, drilling contractors, and office staff to manage well drilling activities with the Division, including digital submittals of Notices of Intent, with online payment options, and Well Logs. This system is also used for submitting new license applications, annual renewals, and records of continuing education units.
