As the severity of drought conditions increases, the Nevada Irrigation District (NID) is moving closer to mandatory water use restrictions and other rules to protect the community’s water supply.
A team from the NID works on the Bowman Dam on June 23. Notice the low levels of the Bowman Reservoir. The dark line on the dam is the water line.
Citing the dry, hot and windy conditions of the summer and the dwindling water supply, the district administration board nodded for larger conservation actions at its meeting on 23 June. The board is expected to vote in a special session on July 1.
Water use restrictions are necessary to ensure that the NID has sufficient end-of-year water supplies (carry over) in storage. The average eight-year carryover of the NID is 166,000 acre-feet (af). The minimum carry-over is 78,000 AF for public health and safety needs for 2022. The initial carry-over for 2021 was 91,700 acre-feet.
Currently, NID is in Stage 1 of its Drought Contingency Plan which requires irrigation water and treated water clients to voluntarily conserve water. The District Drought Contingency Plan identifies drought response levels, appropriate agency responses, and water reduction targets. It also provides recommended demand management measures to assist customers in water conservation.
Harsh and dry hydrologic conditions in the West continue to strain California’s water resources. On April 21, Governor Gavin Newsom issued a state of emergency proclamation that included the entire NID service area. NID administrators declared a drought emergency on April 28. On May 25, the directors authorized the purchase of 15,000 ft of water from Pacific Gas & Electric.
