=== Water Usage ===
On this day May 4th in 1988, the PEPCON plant in Henderson exploded, sending shockwaves across the Las Vegas Valley. The disaster killed two, injured hundreds, and reshaped industrial safety in Nevada. May 4 also marks the finale of the Home + History Las Vegas festival, celebrating Southern Nevada’s rich architectural legacy.
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.
