A: As a 35-year resident of Southern Nevada, I would say the Colorado River drought and the existing and future water supply needs are some of the challenges I see facing Southern Nevada. Having access to water is vital for our communities to thrive and for the continued economic development and growth of the region. Collectively, we have to work together at all levels to create long-term solutions to address our water supply and future energy needs.
