NWRA has been in operation for 69 years. In 1944, Tom Smith, State Engineer at that time, spearheaded a group who focused on groundwater and agricultural issues throughout the State. After many years of serving as a special interest group, the group became the Nevada Reclamation Association and eventually evolved to become the Nevada Water Resources Association.
NWRA is directed by a 17 member Board of Trustees representing four districts. They are from multi-disciplinary backgrounds and are all respected professionals in their area of expertise. Four representatives from each district serve on a voluntary basis with three of the members serving a three year staggered term and having full voting rights. The fourth representative serves for one year as an alternate and has voting rights in the absence of one of the full term representatives. The State Engineer is an ex-officio member.
NWRA hosts an annual conference targeted towards water professionals throughout the State. The conference takes a multi-disciplinary approach to discuss current and ongoing statewide water issues critical to sustaining Nevada’s rapidly growing population and the many competing interests. The primary goal of the conference is to bring key issues to the table for discussion and to provide water managers, policy makers, environmental representatives, federal and state agencies, private consultants, and the general public with a more comprehensive understanding of these issues; including the technical component and legal aspect of each issue.
