About the program
The purpose of the Living with Drought Program is to promote understanding of drought by connecting citizens natural resource managers to essential drought information, current research and resources that help to address and assess the impacts of drought in Nevada. The Living with Drought website also provides a one-stop-shop for homeowners, gardeners, farmers, ranchers, natural resource managers and others to find all the information they need, including current drought status information; data and tools that can be used track and report drought impacts; and information about the basic types and causes of drought.
Report a drought impact
The program also facilitates drought impact reporting and landscape condition monitoring (e.g. low reservoir levels, poor rangeland conditions, increased groundwater use). This locally sourced data is used by scientists to better understand drought conditions across the Silver State, which helps to characterize local, regional and national depictions of drought. Collectively, these reports serve to improve drought assessment and reduce vulnerability to drought faced by individuals, communities, species and environments. If you would like to share local knowledge with others and communicate key issues of concern, please consider submitting a report. You can find more information on the Living with Drought website.
