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.
