The record
Pahrump's water, right by right
Every record in the state's water-rights database for Basin 162, Pahrump Valley: 3,311 applications, permits and certificates, each linked to its official file.
A data center, a subdivision, or anyone else who wants to pump Pahrump's groundwater has to file with the state first, so a new application in this basin is the earliest public sign of what is coming. This page mirrors theNevada Division of Water Resources database weekly. The division notes its database is an interpretation of paper records: for anything contested, follow the link to the official file.
Pending applications
Asked for, not yet granted. Nevada law requires new applications to be published, and protests are accepted for a window after publication, so "publication sent" is the sign the protest clock is moving.

The state designated this basin decades ago because more water is promised on paper than the valley yields, which is why the state engineer already restricts new domestic wells here. The division'spumpage inventory ↗ measures what is actually pumped.
