Preparing for Increased Demand
The SNWA anticipates water demand may increase from 2018 to 2035 by 10 GPCD due to climate change and service system age. Reducing consumptive water use-- water that is evaporated and cannot be captured or recycled back into the local water cycle-- will be critical to meeting the County's 2035 conservation goal and ensuring sufficient water supplies for essential needs in the years ahead.

Emissions Co-Benefits
Not only does reducing water usage preserve the natural resource, but it also reduces demand on the water treatment and distribution systems.
The water saved through SNWA's conservation programs also avoided more than 30,700 MTCO2e that would been emitted through pumping and treatment processes in 2023.

Preserving and Conserving
The Southern Nevada Water Authority is working towards providing sufficient water to the community while promoting conservation and heat mitigation. In 2023, they launched the Tree Enhancement Program, which offers a "treebate" of $100 per tree to residential and commercial participants who install trees as part of their Water Smart Landscape (WSL) conversion project.
Between August 2023 and August 2025, the SNWA has supported nearly 7,000 new tree installations through the incentive, representing nearly 3 million square feet of new tree canopy!
