Built on History. Focused on the Future.

Welcome to 105 Years Forward, a celebration of the Nevada Irrigation District’s legacy and the people who make our mission possible. For more than a century, we’ve grown alongside our communities—building, adapting, and improving.

This campaign honors our history while highlighting the innovation and dedication shaping the next 105 years. Join us as we explore key milestones, meet the people behind the work, and showcase the systems that keep water flowing and communities thriving.
