Water Advisory Committee for Clark County. 1992. Ground Water
Management Plan: executive summary.
This Ground Water Management Plan has been prepared to serve as a guide to the general public and governmental organizations to properly manage ground water resources in Clark County.
Ground water is supply water for the greatest majority of Clark County residents and businesses. it is used by municipalities, industries, agriculture, and individual's homes through dozens of public well fields and thousands of private wells.
The ground water quality in the County has been found to be good with some significant exceptions. Major toxic sites are documented in urban and rural areas. These sites have tainted important water supply sources with volatile organic compounds (solvents, etc.). Chromium has also polluted certain areas. Suburban and rural areas have shown increases in nitrate from urbanization without sanitary sewers.
The County is rapidly urbanizing with an additional 110,000 people expected in the next 20 years. The urbanization of new areas and higher density growth in existing areas increases the need for ground water protection, in order to retain this resource as our primary water supply.
