N N <br /> Year <br /> <br />FIGURE V-3: Nevada Mainstem Consumptive Use <br /> <br />Figure V -3 is a graph showing Nevada's mainstem consumptive use. Almost all of Nevada's <br />mainstem apportionment is used for municipal uses in the Las Vegas area and Laughlin. As you can <br />see, Nevada has reached its normal year apportionment of 300,000 af per year. The drop below <br />300,000 afin 2004 is the result of the aggressive conservation program implemented by the Southern <br />Nevada Water Authority. <br /> <br />Page -56- <br />
