=== Water Usage ===
Nevada is the driest state in the U.S., making water usage a critical issue statewide. From shrinking reservoirs to groundwater overdraft, conservation is more important than ever. Learn how water is used, who’s using it, and what’s being done to protect this vital resource.


One unique and thriving activity in Nevada is hot springs tourism. With over 300 naturally occurring hot springs—more than any other U.S. state—Nevada has become a haven for wellness seekers and adventurers.
