The Nevada County Department of Environmental Health is seeking public input on water use, conservation, and drought preparedness via the Nevada County Drought Resiliency Survey, www.NevadaCountyCA.gov/DRPSurvey, running now through the end of summer.

Key survey topics include:

• Water sources (e.g., private wells, municipal systems, Nevada Irrigation District)
• Experience with water shortages, conservation efforts, and well monitoring Preparedness for future droughts and community needs for support
• Policy suggestions from residents in Nevada County on improving water resiliency in Nevada County. 

“Water is one of our most essential resources—and when it's threatened by drought, the entire community feels the impact,” says Director of Environmental Health, Amy Irani. “This survey will help us assess where support is needed and how to better prepare for future challenges.”
