Revises provisions relating to water. (BDR 48-586)
AB 132 revises Nevada's water law to expand exemptions for wildlife guzzlers - structures that collect rainwater for animals. It increases the maximum guzzler capacity from 20,000 to 40,000 gallons and extends the maximum pipe length from 1/4 mile to 1/2 mile. The bill requires these systems to be developed by wildlife management agencies (or with their consultation), approved by the Department of Wildlife, and not conflict with existing water rights. This change directly affects state/federal wildlife agencies and private entities managing guzzlers for wildlife use.
