NWRA’s mission is to provide objective information, training and education related to key issues regarding water resources in Nevada and the region. To accomplish this objective, each year, NWRA hosts a variety of relevant, professional forums that are both educational and enjoyable.

A primary component of NWRA’s success is the NWRA Annual Conference. The annual conference is a valuable, multi-disciplinary educational experience. Qualified professionals provide information regarding important issues pertinent to sustaining crucial, yet limited water resources in Nevada and the region. Information is provided during technical sessions, professional presentations and panels. Attendees and presenters are encouraged to collaborate during scheduled non-formal presentations and networking events.

Additionally, NWRA hosts workshops, classes, tours, webinars and symposiums that cover a broad range of topics, such as; Nevada Water Law, the Lake Tahoe Basin, Well Construction Methods, the Truckee River, Mine Water Management, Groundwater, Modeling and many others. Many of these NWRA events provide opportunities for attendees to accrue Continuing Education Credits and/or Professional Development Hours.

NWRA has partnered with other associations and agencies to facilitate professional conferences, such as, the National Salinity Management and Desalination Summits, the Tahoe Science Conference, the International Limnogeology Congress, and the Governor’s Summit.

NWRA supports Nevada undergraduate and graduate students by providing numerous undergraduate and graduate scholarships each year as well as opportunities for students to interact with professionals through Shadow Days, Dinner Forums, and other events.
