About CWSD:

The Carson Water Subconservancy District, or CWSD, is a unique multi-county, bi-state agency dedicated to establishing a balance between the needs of the communities within the Carson River Watershed and the function of the river system. Our thirteen member Board of Directors consists of representatives from each of the five counties within the watershed plus two representatives from the agricultural community. Granted no regulatory authority of its own, the CWSD’s mission is to work within existing governmental frameworks to promote cooperative action for the watershed that crosses both agency and political boundaries. The CWSD strives to involve all counties and communities within the watershed in the efforts to preserve the rich history and unique resources of the Carson River Watershed.
