GREAT BASIN

The Great Basin Water Network (GBWN) was formed to protect the water resources of the Great Basin for residents, animals and plants. The Network promotes effective water conservation programs including economic incentives for water smart-practices as opposed to multi-million dollar projects that would burden urban taxpayers while leaving rural communities in jeopardy. As more people populate the Great Basin, water providers are expanding use of ground and surface water resources. This has created a climate for water exploitation threatening the balance between the human and natural environment... We are a coalition of conservationists, tribes, farmers and ranchers working together to protect water in the nation's driest places.
