Description

Federal programs have significantly affected the quality and quantity of wetlands in Nevada. These affects are due to the large proportion of Nevada that is administered by Federal land management agencies 87 and the importance of water development projects in arid river basins with terminal wetlands. Reclamation projects have substantially decreased the size of some wetlands, completely eliminated others, and benefited none. This report analyzes the extent of the problems and offers recommendations on improving wetland areas.
