Golf courses in Nevada use a lot of water, 236 million gallons annually. And, unlike water used indoors, this water cannot be reclaimed and sent back to Lake Mead. That’s why lawmakers cut water allotments for courses by a third beginning this year. And, since 2021, new golf courses are not allowed to use Colorado River water.
